The Natures Of Things......

Well, saw that show last nigh on CBC.  It seemed to promise an explanation of the supposed difference between a pacific (Polynesian) immigration and the land/ice/arctic bridge theory we've heard about for 50 years.  It didn't bother addressing the haplo group x genetic migration to North America as the first peoples, indigenous north Americans.  In fact,  the surprised anthropologist (not a migration genetist travelled to Russia to get confirmation that, indeed, everyone came from Russia, not China, to be the first north Americans.  This all seems acted into resource claims that Canadians reject, but accept; if pacific/Polynesian.  Well, all this has been moot for about 15,000 years.  The main theory of Canada's Indigenous First Peoples is reinforced by Honda's political portrayal of migrations.  It makes a lot more sense that we came from Europe from islands that were extended, like Ireland and Scotland, while the seas were lower and the famous currents between Europe and North America were stronger (just follow the lobster, etc.).   Nature whould seem to dictate a hop across the pond, possibly 'somewhat' like the Polynesians in the Pacific rather than a much longer and much colder path from Russia/ steps, Sino Russia all the way around to north America.  The genetics, anyway, can't explain the path because no one bothers to put forth this theory, which is the only real explanation for the first peoples of north America out of Africa.  It could have been space aliens ships......
