"Is it believed that Native Americans came up from Central America?"

Darn it, should have gone to Wikipedia instead of trying to wing it...

en.wikipedia.org

Side note. Apparently the distinctive Clovis flint knives and spear heads are pretty much identical to those found in Europe. This sparked a serious fight amongst paleoanthropologists 20 or so years ago when it was thought the Native Americans were the earliest settlers.


Having seen the Indians of Central and South America, I don't see many similarities between them and the Indian population here in the states. Maybe the DNA is similar but the appearances don't match up well. And if these were peoples that came over the land bridge up in Alaska why aren't the eyes similar to those of Asians? And I still don't see why humanity couldn't have developed on its own here without migrations. I guess these are questions that may or may not be answered some time in the future.
