They should take the DNA of these people believed to be descendants of the very very first Americans, im wondering how close they are related to the Aboriginals of Australie.

If they are closely related to Australian Aborigenes, the next big question mark will be how on earth did these ancient Native Americans arrive to America all the way from Oceania.. or how did they arrive to Oceania from America.

Modern Native Americans of Mongoloid origin are assumed to have crossed the Strait of Bering. But the migration of these ancient Native Americans --if Australoid-- would have had to be done through huge masses of sea at a much earlier time. It sounds highly unlikely.

In my opinion Spain was the discover, because it built a new world, pleny of chances, sadly, it was destroyed by the enemies of the christendom and hispanism. But it was a great dream.
The points put by Mynydd are interesting, I recognise my ignorance, and I will read. Apocalypto, remember very well, that pre-spaniard America wasn´t so happy like many want to say.
