Is it true that Native American originated from Asia, or is it just a big lie?

It's true. There are gentic markers in the DNA of Native North Americans and Native South Americans that shows a common ancestry with Asian people who lived in Siberia tens of thousands of years ago. A land bridge in present-day Alaska, USA was connected to Asia, and the ancient Asians crossed it and migrated South as they chased game animals for food. These ancient Asians probably enjoyed the warmer weather and the more abundant vegetation they found as they kept moving further South away from the tundra in Siberia. The closer the Asians moved towards the Equator, the darker their skin became over time. The further the people were from the Equator, the less melanin they needed to resist the sun's UV rays. That is why Native Americans in Canada and the U.S. tend to be lighter than Amer-Indians in Mexico, Central America, and South America.

The Bering Strait theory is not even scientific.

In 1589, the Bering Strait theory was created by a Jesuit priest in South America José de Acosta, trying to explain how people of the Americas fit into the biblical origins of man.

===========

The scientists who support the Bering Strait theory promote that many kinds of animals, plants, and even TREES crossed over the Bering Strait into the Americas.

The theory wants us to believe that people from well established communities in Asia (despite the fact that they had everything they needed) just left everything behind to head north into a frozen tundra to chase huge and dangerous animals (which decided for some CRAZY reason to leave their rich marshlands and head for the ice).

There couldn't have been one long migrant line of people in pursuit of meat and furs. Someone would have had to go back and tell everyone else. I feel sorry for that guy. He was out there wrapped in furs, jogging back and forth in his moccasins. Would you believe a half-frozen man calling you out into the teeth of an Arctic storm?

It would take an awful lot of persuasion to get others to cross that bridge. But they did, according to the theory. Thousands of them. So many that the land bridge must have collapsed under their weight because it hasn't been seen since.

.

it is a theory that has been proven wrong several times already. that's why they keep moving the date of that labnd bridge back every time they find somethin here thats older than expected. now they can't push it back any further because they are finding artifacts and evidence of human occupation 50,000 years ago before the last ice age.

the BS theory is a political tool used to justify the genocide of indigenous people. many feel if they can prove we were also immigrants that it makes what whites did here less horrific.

the truth is slowly being told finally. and science is proving that we were right all along, indigenous people are from right here.

Thats a theory so it isn't a fact however check this article out http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/05113...

this might open up a theory that the natives crossed earlier or began evolving here many years ago.

It is a big lie Captain! Maybe the Asians migrated the other way from our peoples here, maybe they are descended from us?

They did come from Asia but that was a long, ANCIENT time ago.

Native Americans have nothing in common with Asians culturally.

Eskimos are the ones who look Asian

they supposedly traveled from south Asia from places like India and whent from present day Alaska all the way to Chile. There they became the cherokees, iroqoius, mayans, incas, seminoles, taino, arawak, chumash, blackfoot, aztecs, mexica, teotihuacan, etc

the inuits and eskimos from north canada and alaska are of like chinese descent

Dey look like me and I KNOW I'm beautiful!

It is true but I do not consider them Asians.
