:How did humans exist in America before colonizers?

518 views

Like I looked up boats and according to Wikipedia, the earliest boats found are a million years ago. Pangea broke apart 200 million years ago. So how come Native Americans existed before the colonizers found the land?

Wait wait wait, sorry, I just got hung up on the earliest boats being a million years old. That’s certainly an error somewhere, human beings as a species are only roughly 250,000 years old and most ancient man-made relics are ~~ 45,000 years.

Where the heck did you see something about a million year old boat?

EDIT – I stand corrected and need to reexamine my unconscious biases – turns out our distant ancestor Homo Erectus was possibly using boats to cruise the gaps between islands in Indonesia 750,000-900,000 years ago.
