Hmm, native Americans were in America before Columbus? Crazy
- vanderZwan 2y agoLet's not be flippant about something GP didn't actually say. The Polynesian people aren't native Americans; as far as we can tell all native Americans came to the continents via the Beringa land bridge in the last glacial maximum[0][1]. However, as others mentioned there have been multiple reasons to believe that Polynesians and native Americans had contact, and this would be more genomic evidence pointing to that.
