I recently read a book about South America and learned there’s genetic evidence Polynesians made there in about AD 1200, which is amazing. There’s also I think some mystery about some South American DNA that doesn’t support the land bridge hypothesis. I don’t know if that’s well supported or not/evidence might be poor, haven’t bothered to do any digging. I think that’s distinct from what was found linking some populations to Polynesians and suggests there might have been seafaring people that made it even earlier, but I’m not sure.
