There is an interesting documentary on a genetic trail, no idea if it is still relevant (or ever was) something about a genetic adam. It is an interesting trail.

Using DNA their ancestors have been traced to Northeast Asia.

Both existed including a connection through the Atlantic. Several tribes appear to have a European connection prior to European exploration.

I watched a documentary a long time ago (can't remember the name) but it claimed that there was a link between a small tribe on the southern most tip of South America that had DNa in common with Aboriginal peoples in Australia.

Just part of the genecide that was to follow. Larger than WWII genocide. He was the first one to appeal to Isabella and Ferdinand to enslave the natives and bring them back to Europe. He never really set foot on North America. He landed on the island of Hispaniola.

@t1nick I was born in Haiti, of American missionary parents. Haiti is the western half of Hispanola.

Many Haitians in the area where I lived, a few km south of Cap Haitian, had Arawak Indian DNA from being descendents of "maroon" slaves who escaped French colonizers to live in the mountains with the native Indian remnants.

These Haitians are unusually tall, with copper-colored, instead of black skin, very long hair, high, prominent cheek bones, and long, curly lashes.

@birdingnut very interesting. All throughout the world there are small enclaves of peoples that either are not native to the area, or are an admixture of colonization and indigenous peoples. Are you still in Haiti? Its a country that has suffered so much: both natural disasters and colonialism.

@t1nick Gracious! Apparently you don't read profiles or even "hover," over profile photos.

@birdingnut I apologize, I read your response to the post, but did not read your profile. I assume from your response that you are no longer in Haiti. I will go read your profile straight away. Sorry

@birdingnut I have now read your profile.

@t1nick Most men don't read women's profiles before talking or replying to them. That is a common complaint not only on this website, but true everywhere.
