Are blacks the true native Americans?

 

The claim that "blacks are the true Native Americans" is not supported by the current consensus in anthropology, archaeology, and genetic research. Native Americans are generally understood to be the descendants of people who migrated from Siberia across the Bering land bridge more than 15,000 years ago. These early migrants are not believed to have been of African descent, according to genetic and archaeological evidence:

1. Genetic Evidence: DNA studies show that Native Americans are more closely related to modern East Asians and Siberians than to any populations in Africa.
2. Archaeological Evidence: Early artifacts and remains found in the Americas also support the Siberian origin theory.
3. Linguistic Evidence: Native American languages also show no significant ties to any African languages.
4. Historical Records: There is no credible historical record or evidence to support the claim that Africans were the original inhabitants of the Americas.
5. Cultural Practices: Native American and African cultures are distinct in many ways, including language, customs, and traditional practices, further suggesting separate origins.
