    Are the Red indians, the Aztecs, & the Mayans actually the same group of people or are the 3 totally different group of people & civilisations? Any Difference between the 3? how to compare them?Are there still anymore remains of them or is everything about them & their people already wipe out?

    That's a good question.  I think the theory is that they all came over the Bering Strait and migrated southward, which would mean they are all related at some level.  Then again, all humans are. ;D

    If you go to South or Central America, you can find indigenous Indians living there who are not mixed with European ancestry.  So no, they are not “wiped out”.

    If they came over the Bering Strait, which I do not dispute, then wouldn't they be Chinese too and just not know it?

    Probably Han Chinese, just like Turks, Bulgarians and Scout are Chinese without knowing it !!  ;D

    I think the theory goes that the people who came over the Bering Strait were originally from Africa who traveled along southern ridge of Asia before going north and making their crossing.  I'm not sure if this happened before or after racial identities, as we know them today, started to emerge.

    The Out of Africa theory is well known; however migrations in Americas occurred millenniums after : if I remember well the official oldest migration theory states that the oldest remains of human migrations in America known as Clovis Culture appeared in North and Central American sites from at least 13,500 years ago only, at the end of the last glacial period. (however still a controversial theory)Be sure that Kentaoshima post isn't “innocent” : he gonna state that America was first settled by “Chinese” and belongs to China's sphere of influence !

    True, Aetheling, but if they came from Africa that means they must have passed through Bulgaria, so I'm sure our Bulgarian will have something to say about this.  😀

    Since native american obviously traveled the furthest what would make you think they would stop here. I think they settled north and south america then on to europe asia and then finially stopped.

    Is there any evidence for Native American colonization of Europe?  ??? I have never seen or heard of any.
