Bitaw, they are kind people.
Native Americans are more closer to us Filipinos than we think, because they are asiatic peoples, 'te. They are descendents of Siberian nomadic people that crossed the bering strait some 20,000 years ago. The first of their kind are the Indians of South America, who have physical phenotype that are similar to that of East Asians, and South East Asians. They are part of the Greater Mongoloid Race, to which the Filipino is part of that family.
Some illustration:
Incan Indian boy (populate most of Peru, Columbia and have mingled with the Spaniards to form the 'Mestizo Latino' of South America)
Native Sioux Indian; these were nomadic hunters and gatherers that populated most of central and midwestern United States
Inuit Woman (Eskimo); these are what native americans looked like before their physical phenotypes evolved to change in according to their environment. As they migrated south, to the jungles of south america, they grew shorter, and developed 'curly' hair as an adaptation to check the heat from the sun; and height decreased due to the foliage of the trees. The native indians of the woodland United States grew bigger due to the cool and temperate climate. The natives of alaska, canada, and greenland retained the original mongoloid features, primarily the prominent eye fold, as an adaptation to harsh and cold climate as well as to protect the eyes form snow storms etc.
Compare these to Mongoloids of East Asia; very similar in phenotype.
Mongol woman and mongol man
Native Siberian woman (this is the same racial stock that the native americans descended from; Asians)
Have you seen the documentary "Journey of Man" in the Nat Geo? It was pretty much explained.
Yes, we Asians and the american indians have a lot in common in terms of facial features. Because we share a common "DNA marker" taken from the Y Chromosome which is passed down from your father to you and if you are a male, you will pass the same DNA to your children. Your mother will not pass a Y Chromosome to you because she is a female, she will pass the Monocrondial DNA (correct me if the spelling is wrong).
Y Chromosome DNA are categorized into Markers according to patterns, i.e. Caucasians, Asians, Centralasians, African, Indians have various patterns.
During Ice age, humans from central asia started migrating east. Some split downwards and some continued to reach Alaska. During that time, the sea was frozen that served as a bridge to Canada.
So we are the ones who are afraid of cold and migrated south and they are the brave who continued the journey to the east until they reached Canada.
The timeframe of this theory is only 10,000 years. The proof is found in our blood, the DNA.
Their genetic make-up is very close to us.
