Until recently there was much speculation about this subject (not the one land mass, check Genesis 10:25 for "short" information about the earth being divided. ); but with modern technology, research has been done on the Natives of this continent.
The DNA of the North American, South American, Canadian and Alaskan Indians. = 99. 4% Northern Asian Mongolian descent, the other . 6% is European; which as they look into the DNA data revealed came about when Europeans began to explore the new world, 1400's-on and mated with them.
Interesting note, this Blows a Huge Hole in the Mormon doctrine. The Book of Morman states that all Indians on the above aforementioned came from the Jewish race. Research in the DNA field shows 0. 00% Hebrew (Jews) DNA in any of these Indians.
Also, there has never be found in the world of antiquities, that there were any Jewish/Indian civilizations,artifacts or cultures as mentioned in the bookof Morman---- and none of the languages spoken by any of these present Indian cultures has any resemblance to Hebrew.
If an English speaking person came to a land of no people and began a culture, would his children speak English? Yes. Would they speak Hebrew? No. You get the point.
Food for thought.
