Clovis-Solutrean Connection?

Columbus Day this past Monday, Frank opens the show with his now-famous "Hail Columbus!" speech. Frank then goes on to explain who were really the first humans to walk on the American continents: The Solutreans, a Caucasian race of people who traveled from Europe tens of thousands of years before even the so-called "Indians" traveled into North America via the Bering Straits, and whose remains, including the highly-disputed Kennewick Man and Clovis Point, have been found in recent decades.

The Solutrean hypothesis has little to no empirical evidence behind it. For an up-to-date article on the topic, check out Did Europeans Discover North America Before Columbus?. The short answer is yes and no, but not in the usual Solutrean hypothesis way.

Yes I don't buy the Solutrean hypothesis either. I seems far fetched, even though a famous scientist came out in a national magazine just a few weeks ago trying to strengthen it, or something like it. I will have to find that article.

But your right, the vikings definitely came before columbus.

However, another race unrelated to the Native American did come before the Native Americans did.
Wiki man does not seem to be an ancestor of the Native American, and has more in common genetically with the Ainu, australian aborigine, and Polynesian.

What about the claims of the Olmecs being of partially African decent? What is the latest verdict on that? Have you heard anything recently to bolster that idea or to put it to rest?
