Re: Did Asians emigrate to South America 6000 years ago?

There are reasons to suspect that humans may gone and visited one another millennia ago. There are reasons to believe that ancient Europeans made various inroads into the Americas even before the Vikings. The Basque fisherman were visiting Nova Scotia since at least the 10th century. I wouldn't be surprised if our ancestors got around far more than we give them credit for. · 28 minutes ago
As did the Vikings, some of my ancestors. This is a picture of the reconstructed Viking house of around 1000 CE in Newfoundland, Canada.
We certainly did get around! · 1 hour ago
I've never heard that about the Basque before, but the medieval Irish had legends about some of their ancestors finding a fanciful land to the west where the "black-headed people" lived.
