Native Americans

**~~Laudanum~~** · 12-03-2009, 10:11 PM

Hello,

I have been having a discussion with a friend of mine about Native Americans.
I know some people would not call them Native Americans because they are convinced that there were vikings living there before them, but i'll just call them Native Americans instead of Indians to avoid confusion with people from India.

Could someone tell me where Native Americans really come from? I have been searching on the net and every website told another story.

Another thing, what are the biggest racial differences between them and white people? I'm just wondering, that's all. I know they can look different, but when, for example, a white person mixes with a Native American person many white characteristics stay dominant, instead of a negro mixing with a white.

Maybe it's a dumb question and maybe not, but I am only wondering about those things, so I hope someone can explain it to me.

They taught us in school that the Natives crossed the land bridge between Alaska and Russia. Don't tell the Natives that. They seem convinced they sprouted out of the ground.

Read the file name for clarification.

So in the end they would have asian roots?

Would you like to see my dad? He has native american ancestry, and you would probably not believe your eyes if you saw him. Would you like me to pm the pictures to you?

As far as I know, Native Americans are their own race. They came from Siberia and traveled as far from Alaska to the Eastern united States.

They are very diverse in body types as the one in the SouthWestern United States are round headed and very short as the ones in the Eastern United States are the tallest in the world, ranging from 6'0 to 6'2 and have a very dilocelphalic head with a heavy supraorbital bulge.

We may never know how they got their robustity from so some people are guessing they got it from the Cromagnids from NW Europe.

Hmm... Looks like everyone still has his own version of the story.

Thank you for clearing that up, Lars. But when looking to a picture of Native Americans they do not look pure asian. Yes ok, a bit, but is it possible they mixed with something else?
