Australo-Melanesian ancestors of Indigenous Americans

[Luigi]

Hey guys, so in the past I had heard that there was some Melanesian DNA in south American tribes, but the article I read that in postulated that Polynesians had taken them as slaves and transported them across the pacific and traded them to local tribes. I recently found some articles claiming that it can be better explained by an early migration of Australo-Melanesians to the Americas whose descendants would later be replaced by a later stock from Siberia. Here are the articles:

They support their interpretation by pointing out that small trace amounts of dna can be found throughout the Americas, and that the high concentration of the dna in the Brazilian jungles is because it isolated them from later migrating tribes. What do you guys think of this? Which theory do you find more likely?

The Olmec Stone Heads of Mexico:


The huge proportions of the heads suggests that they (The people represented by the heads) were important people, and their association with the Olmec culture at around (800-600 BC) places them long before the Maya, Inca or Columbus's arrival in America. The stone heads have been found at the three most significant Olmecs sites in Mexico (La Venta, San Lorenzo and Tres Zapotez). They were carved from huge basalt boulders, some quarried in the Tuxtlas Mountains; some from the basalt of Cerro Cintepec; others from basalt found on San Martin Volcano.
It has long been suggested that the stone heads represent warriors or chieftain leaders, or perhaps a ruling dynasty. The clear prevalence of Negroid (and oriental) facial features on the stone heads has been said to be evidence of a 'fusion' of African and Pre-Columbian American races. Other evidence ranges from Linguistics, Plant Geography, Skeletons, Terracotta figures and even North African 'Tifinag' inscriptions on the Virgin Islands (3).

- I think Pom or Vutu posted a thread that talks about the first big navigations happening 11,000 years before than the historian tought's and that we Brazialinas were decendant of australian tribes., if they cound get here, they probably got in north america too.

Another point is that's need to be some study to bring to light how developed the navigations abibiltys and knowled of those tribes were actually, they were far smarter than related.


And probably had some serious fighting skills and charisma.

Yes Edge. Vutu is actually more versed in this than I am.
The Melanesians are definitely the first homo sapiens colonizers of 'merka.

Ed move to the anarchy zone and TT will explain it, I can probably do a decent job but in no way will I come close to being as offensive as he can.

[Luigi]

Care to oblige, Mas? We must consult the wise sage TT!

[Som-Pong]

LMAO in for TT getting offensive.

[Masato]

Done

Though TT would make some great posts in the Rebel forum too I'm sure

[Vutulaki-san]

Probably doesnt read it, horses for courses.

Ive never clicked on the second from the top forum myself.

Why'd you change my screen name again?

We know that Polynesian made contact with the Native Americans before European discovery, because the sweet potato (native to south America) made it all the way to New Zealand.

The Maoris were cultivating the kumara (native sweet potato) for centuries before the first Anglos arrived.

For ages we never had any direct genetic proof of contact, possibly because early encounters were sporadic and few. I guess this is the first time that we have any real genetic evidence
