Are Europes indigenous peoples about to loose their grip on their own lands due to immigration? (59)

The fact that your grandchildren could be born with blond hair and blue eyes, should concern you more than what colour eyes your grandparents had.

The romans didn't move people to reservations after a genocide. They conquered and ruled.

This week, two teams of scientists released reports detailing the origins of Native American peoples. Both groups looked at ancient and modern DNA to attempt to learn more about the movements of populations from Asia into the New World, and about how groups mixed once they got here. Both discovered a hint that some Native Americans in South America share ancestry with native peoples in Australia and Melanesia.

Scientists don't have DNA samples from Native Americans dating from around 12,000 to 24,000 years ago. But should they secure a sample, they might be able to sequence it and search for hints of the Australo-Melanesian DNA.

"If we find that signal, OK -- there's our answer," he said.

I saw it on the History channel years ago...

I spent a few hours searching for "forced migrations," and all the other synonyms I could think of for it...

But I couldn't even find the Jewish Babylonian forced migration until I searched for "Jewish captivity."

I don't remember the name of the people the Romans moved to the east of Rome; but I remember learning about them.

If you need me to post sources for a debate, I'll concede that point, rather than spending another hour searching for a link just to prove it to you.

I believe my point was made without a reference to Romans anyway.

The Romans never "conquered" Europe, they tried, but some countries were never conquered.



Those that walked across the Siberian land bridge were not "white" they were dark skinned or possibly the same colour as Orientals

Some of the earliest humans to inhabit America came from Europe according to a new book Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America’s Clovis Culture. The book puts forward a compelling case for people from northern Spain traveling to America by boat, following the edge of a sea ice shelf that connected Europe and America during the last Ice Age, 14,000 to 25,000 years ago."Across Atlantic Ice : The Origin of America's Clovis Culture" Across Atlantic Ice is the result of more than a decade’s research by leading archaeologists Bruce Bradley of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, and Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Through archaeological evidence, they turn the long-held theory of the origins of New World populations on its head. For more than 400 years, it has been claimed that people first entered America from Asia, via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. We now know that some people did arrive via this route nearly 15,000 years ago, probably by both land and sea. Eighty years ago, stone tools long believed to have been left by the first New World inhabitants were discovered in New Mexico and named Clovis. These distinctive Clovis stone tools are now dated around 12,000 years ago leading to the recognition that people preceded Clovis into the Americas. No Clovis tools have been found in Alaska or Northeast Asia, but are concentrated in the south eastern United States. Groundbreaking discoveries from the east coast of North America are demonstrating that people who are believed to be Clovis ancestors arrived in this area no later than 18,450 years ago and possibly as early as 23,000 years ago, probably in boats from Europe.

First Americans May Have Been European

ST. LOUIS—The first humans to spread across North America may have been seal hunters from France and Spain.

This runs counter to the long-held belief that the first human entry into the Americas was a crossing of a land-ice bridge that spanned the Bering Strait about 13,500 years ago.
