I read Heyerdahl's books. My conclusion is that the migrations of mankind have had over three million years to play out, and there's no way the fossil record can confirm or deny any particular theory. National Geographic did a migration study based on DNA that was very fascinating. Also, blood types explain quite a bit.

longnshort, I understand that they could have crossed the Atlantic, but then, why have most, if not all, of the remains been found on the Pacific side of South America? I'm not being argumentative about this, but just wonder. If they went around by India, and Asia, to the Bering strait, they were on the Pacific side of the earth. For them to have settled in South America so long before the Mongols crossed the land bridge, it seems that they would have come ashore farther south than the Bering strait. Whatever the answers are, it would be nice to know exactly what happened, and when it happened. It won't change the present world, but knowing everything about the ancient past of mankind could change the way man looks at himself. Quite some time ago, I read something about the remains of an ancient city in deepest Africa that had statues, and other art work types of things, that showed the features of the black people of the area, which could be proof that the African blacks were not always jungle people, and once had a civilization as advanced as any other race. That city was described as being so covered with jungle growth, that no one decided to delve more into the origin of that city. There are parts of deep, dark, Africa where advanced cultures, probably, lived, and thrived, but no one has cared enough to explore farther. In some parts of China, there are ruins of architecture that indicates a far more advanced society than lives in those areas now. Wouldn't it be nice to know who erected those buildings, and when they did it, and what happened to those that built them?
