Where did the Native Americans come from?

I deny the ige age cuz I believe the flood is being mistaken as an ige age. The waters from the flood would do the same thing as ice. I do believe that the whole earth at some point (before the flood) was all one land mass. But I think the flood or just the work of Gods hands (like separating the people of Babylon) separated the land. When separating people, he could have also separated the earth so that we cannot join together until the pointed time of the end and the time of Mystery Babylon. I was just curious about how others view it. Which I know nothing about this can truly be 100% proven, except DNA of course. 

it is possible that the ice age was at the end of the flood......   water frozen during the flood moving as it all melted.

If the Great Lakes freeze in winter, then I would dare say the Arctic and Berring Strait would freeze. If food was in short supply and caribou or walrus were ahead of them they followed. I see no problem with them coming from North Russia or any other northern area.

I found this interesting as my wife is a combination of Choctaw and Chickasaw

Nearly one-third of Native American genes come from west Eurasian people linked to the Middle East and Europe, rather than entirely from East Asians as previously thought, according to a newly sequenced genome.

 

 

Based on the arm bone of a 24,000-year-old Siberian youth, the research could uncover new origins for America's indigenous peoples, as well as stir up fresh debate on Native American identities, experts say.

The study authors believe the new study could also help resolve some long-standing puzzles on the peopling of the New World, which include genetic oddities and archaeological inconsistencies. (Explore an atlas of the human journey.)

"These results were a great surprise to us," said study co-author and ancient-DNA specialist Eske Willerslev, of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Great Lakes freeze due to the cold continental land mass that surrounds them, but the Bering Strait (although further north) does not (although pack ice does occur), so there is no continuous connection between the two continents.

The land bridge between the two was assumed to consist not of ice, but of grassland and this was because sea levels were lower during the Ice Age.

But you were not around 5000 - 2000 years ago and if the ice age did reach into the northern US it is possible that they did come across the narrowest point of ice/land when it was receding and that would be the northern part of Russia and Alaska.

Oak has all the Ice Age dvd's  , just saying.

And then walked to Peru, Argentina, the Yucatan and Florida to build their large cities?

I would have thought they would have built a few along the way.

Where did NA Indians build cities??

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. These early inhabitants made stone tools that differ in significant ways from the earliest stone tools known in Alaska. It now appears that people entering the New World arrived from more than one direction.
   
 

  In their new book, the authors trace the origins of Clovis culture from the Solutrean people, who occupied northern Spain and France more than 20,000 years ago. They believe that these people went on to populate America's east coast, eventually spreading at least as far as Venezuela in South America.

The link between Clovis and contemporary Native Americans is not yet clear. The authors do not suggest that the people from Europe were the only ancestors of modern Native Americans. They argue that it is evident that early inhabitants also arrived from Asia, into Alaska, populating America's western coast. Their ongoing research suggests that the early history of the continent is far more intriguing than we formerly believed.

Some of the archaeological evidence analysed in the book was recovered from deep in the ocean. When the first people arrived in America, sea levels were nearly 130 metres lower than today. The shore lines of 20,000 years ago, which hold much of the evidence left by these early people, are now under the ocean. This is also the case in Europe.

Well the "Anasazi" built in the four-corners area... but not much from what I understand.

Maybe that was just a rest-stop?
