i believe the caucasoid ainu island hopped and settled the west coast
of north america prior to the 'native' americans who came over the
bering straits during the more recent ice age (and wiped them out).
now their burial sites are sacred so no one will know about their
ancient genocide...
you might want to read "the starship and the canoe' about freeman
dyson's son's ocean going kayaks.

Wow Alberto! I'm not sure one can get from Rapa Nui to the African
coast in a sea canoe. I'm confident you wouldn't get past Tierra del
Fuego (even using your testicles for navigation).
But I am talking about the route West Africa - Brazil, not East Africa
- Indian Ocean - Pacific Ocean - etc. It´s about 2000 km of sea travel
- probably less than Rapa Nui to the closest big island.
That was just an attempt to set up some comedy on my part; not the last
you'll see I'm afraid (the prefered reply, by the way, was; "Obviously
sir, you have never seen my testicles")
ANYWAY! It is my opinion that the answer will turn out to be "All of
the Above" after the genetic studies are done. I suspect our ancestors
were capable of much more than some give them credit for. I recall one
suspicion that these fellows would hunt giant cave bears just to prove
their manhood. I'm not sure if I could get talked into doing that. (I
stamp my little feet if the ATM machine doesn't work correctly!)
