    It's not a new idea. There just isn't any evidence for it. The new ideas that have had evidence (the discovery of the Clovis culture, the current push for older immigration waves than the standard model), even a little bit of evidence, have no problem getting support from various mavericks and young turks.

    And the medical community around the handwashing controversy, like the religious community around the Galilean controversy, was not a scientific one - they didn't get their status by having new and bright ideas, they didn't have standard ways of introducing discovery and comparing it with older work.

    There is often great resistance to a new idea - but that's not the same has making it vanish, preventing it from picking up persuaded research. Fame and glory await anyone who makes a major advance in the knowledge of the early immigration to North America.

    If the Caucasion hypothesis holds water genetic testing will have to confirm or deny it. Time will tell.

    It could be added as a new wing to the Creation Museum

    like I said...the first Americans were actually Russians...they traveled across the frozen ice shelf bridge to Alaska and than to what is now Washingthon Dc. and settled on Washingthon D.C...and after ages it all sort of came down together and USA formed

    I saw a documentary on this - and to be honest the evidence was pretty weak - particularly in the face of archaeological and genetic evidence - worth a watch though.

    1. dunno - don't care
    2. hopefully nothing
    3. So much research - so little time/money
    4. Has no bearing on it at all - besides its hardly a theory - more like simple speculation.

    "The University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science has been awarded funding from the National Geographic Society, and is working with divers at The Florida Aquarium, to explore a marine archaeological site at Little Salt Spring. The excavation, led by UM Marine Affairs and Policy Associate Professor, Dr. John Gifford, is searching for evidence of human habitation in Florida from 10,000 B.C. or 12,000 years ago. "

    I'd think the first Americans were humans since that is a race of peoples that settled here.

    Wasn't it South America they went to, they got slaughtered.
