Interesting that you use the term "First Americans" when in truth they were the "last Americans", not gaining full citizenship for all Indians until after WWI. They were wards of the government before that and not highly esteemed "sovereign nations" as  children are taught in schools these days. Educators too eager to push their political agenda skimp on the history of cultures that actually led to the founding of our nation in order to teach the PC tribalism which should be left to researchers in college classes who have the time to dwell on these specific subjects.

The wheel, big whoo, if it hadn't been invented, so what? It was only used to bring war more quickly to the enemy. Just to remind you all, this technologically advanced society owes all of it's advances to warfare. All the advances in modern medicine, war. Science? War. Literacy? What does that mean anyway? History, written by the dominant culture to reflect the greatness of themselves. Every invention that has been created to date, doomed because of the dependence on fossil fuel. A parasitic culture dooming the planet. Advance us out of this quagmire that we are in. Got an invention?

I'd rather go back to the primitive age, without the wheel. We may soon after we run out of gas.

Oh yeah, lifespan, more time to watch the downfall. Want some popcorn?

After we give back the Indians "their land" are we going to have them give back all the land they took from one another. All societies, in every part of the world, engage in expansion and conquering (Romans, Chinese, African tribal warfare). I know it hurts everyones feelings but the Indians were a BRONZE AGE CULTURE WHO HADN'T YET INVENTED THE WHEEL. Europeans came and created one of the most advance societies known to human history (as defined by Scientific, Medical, Lifespan, Literacy attainment).

This is very exciting information, although I still think any conclusions based solely on genetic information is still up in the air. For example, the article <a href="http://www.bauuinstitute.com/Articles/PeoplingAmericasGenetics.html">What Do Molecular Genetic Studies Tell Us About the Peopling of the Americas?</a> argues for a slightly different conclusion.
