  1.  @frankmartin8471  Agree, except for one thing, there is an Austronesian component of DNA that seems to have arrived very early in the Americas. Many people confuse that with Australian, or the much more recent Polynesian contact.

  5.  @brandonrussell79  looked it up on google scholar, no text was available, so it is hard to evaluate. I see nothing in the scientific literature, but it seems likely that some Africans made it over as it is a natural sailing route

  7.  @tronicvision-misic  True. And I haven't seen studies specifically looking for West African genetics in the areas the winds would lead.

  8.  @surfk9836  idk man the evidence looks pretty good for that super ancient site with the mammoths. It has cut marks, piles of bones arranged in an unnatural manner, and upright planted tusks. The cut marks are pretty diagnostic, I did a summer internship looking for stuff like that.
