The global scientific establishment is supporting nowadays the theory that all Native Americans came in waves from North-East Asia, by foot.
This conclusion was a result of few assumptions and discoveries:
1. Archeologist discoveries indicated that all the inhabitant islands of the Pacific were inhabited much later than the Americas.
2. There is no evidence humans could sail to Americas at so early times, from any other continent.
3. North Asia is the closest place to America where humans may cross the way from Asia to America by foot on the frozen sea at Bering straits.
However, this theory has some problems:
1. It did not explain, convincingly, why many of the Native Americans look so similar to some South East Asians.
2. It did not explain why the human societies who reached almost any corner of the Pacific Ocean, and inhabit most of its remote tiny islands before the European discovered America, - missed the entire continents of the Americas.
Here, I would like to challenge the accepted theory, with what I believe is a hard data, not less hard than that supporting the current accepted theory.
Please look at the attached table:
Racial and ethnic distribution of ABO (without Rh) blood types | ||||
People group | O (%) | A (%) | B (%) | AB (%) |
Aborigines | 61 | 39 | 0 | 0 |
Ainu (Japan) | 17 | 32 | 32 | 18 |
Bororo (Brazil) | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Chinese-Peking | 29 | 27 | 32 | 13 |
Eskimos (Alaska) | 38 | 44 | 13 | 5 |
Indians (USA—general) | 79 | 16 | 4 | 1 |
Japanese | 30 | 38 | 22 | 10 |
Koreans | 28 | 32 | 31 | 10 |
Maori | 46 | 54 | 1 | 0 |
Mayas | 98 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Navajo (N. Am. Indian) | 73 | 27 | 0 | 0 |
Peru (Indians) | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Shompen (Nicobars) | 100 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Tatars | 28 | 30 | 29 | 13 |
Global Human Mean | 44 | 35 | 17 | 5 |
I think it is clear from the data above, that except of Alaskan natives (and maybe others who are not mentioned here); - all Native Americans in both Americas have no North Asian connections.
On the other hands, the distribution of AB, B, and O blood types indicate that Aboriginal populations of Australia and New Zealand may suggest that Native societies of North America, South America, Australia and New-Zealand have genetic similarities.
Is this an occasion? – I do not believe so.
The tropical seas allow lost fishermen and traders with a very primitive boat, to survive months, while drinking rain-water, and eating fish. I believe most of the inhabited remote islands of the pacific oceans were inhabited by such lost fishermen and traders.
It is believed, due to archeological discoveries, that the Australian populations are more ancient than the American. Then, it means the population moved from Australia/New Zealand to the Americas and not the opposite…
If my theory is true (and I can not see other logical options), - then, archeological evidences must be found in the main islands of the Pacific Ocean to indicate more ancient human history than in the Americas. So far, nothing like this was found. I believe efforts were far from enough.
Anyway, as I said, one thing is clear, most American Natives did not came from North Asia, but from Australia and/or New Zealand, probably through very slow advance during hundreds or thousands of years, while inhabiting the islands on the way to America one by one…
By the way, West Africans have some blood types distributions similar to those of some dark-skin South East Asian populations. I believe dark-skin humans in South Asia, South East Asia and Australia arrived from Africa (long before language was developed), and not by foot... but this is another story...
