Native Americans discovered the Americas from crossing the Beringia land bridge perhaps 10's of thousands of years ago from Siberia . Before then there probably no human occupants.

It's said that remains of caucasian people have been found that predate the "natives" (at least in the US and Canada)

Many Native Americans from Central and South America are direct descendents of the Oceanian tribes from Indonesia, the Philippines and even the Japanes (Ainu peoples), most of the most important civilizations come from the Maori. Based on recent findings it is even possible that these people form Oceania migrated first and before those Asians who entered by feed via the Bering Strait. Quecha languages and genetics all along the Andean mountains and the Amazon share many similarities, costumes and even the same words and concepts of gods to random tribes on Indonesia. Muisca peoples from Colombia also believed in a fying snake god similar to those dragons that the chinese culture portraits.

Yeah but you couldn't say that the Native Americans 'discovered' America though. The journey from Asia to America across the land bridge during the Ice Age would've taken place over many generations. And they would've been completely unaware the whole time that they had moved onto an entirely different continent, it was all just generic land to them. It's like saying that horses 'discovered' Asia when they travelled across the land bridge from America to Asia during the Ice Age, they didn't realise anything about the idea of continents or the significance of discovering new land.

@@SEB1991SEB The concept of discovery and movement did had a significance for nomad comunities, migration and apropiation of territories was a thing back then as well, so it was pretty much the same or similar as today. I say it because what actually pushes humans to move further and further away into new places is usually climate or conflict, hunter gatherer/nomad cummunities usually circle throgout the same land as long as possible knowing that there's some specific places rich in resources and animals to eat, depending on the season they'll return to these certain specific places, when another group appears or the group disbands then this territory would need to be shared or fought to gain control, just like the nomadic communities who pushed large migrationsinto the roman empire or the native americans in south america who still have disputes over lands, all of this happens unless they just move away in search of new hospitable land and enstablish there, a new world only for them to live in, this was definetively of big significance for these cultures and the future civilizations of their sons, just like when many greek communities were forced to migrate and ended up populating most of the Mediterranean when non owned land started to scarce in their own territory, leaving the seeds for many other civilizations to grow over the same culture bases.

It's funny how you say, his the first "European" to set foot there. 6:03 I wonder why you said it like that. I wonder how something can be discovered if it's already been discovered?

bruh lmao

After Columbus discovered America, it stayed discovered.

Arguably the "last" was Amerigo Vespucci who actually realised it was a previously unknown continent, and finally gave it its permanent name. Meanwhile I wonder if Thoughty2 has anything on the theory that Phoenicians reached Brazil by accident, analogously to Leif in Canada?

@UKposts Lover Columbus never stepped foot in actual America. His sailing routes were his real contribution. He "discovered" the Caribbean.

Columbus discovered America for Spain and Spain was the first European empire to successfully colonize it.

If not for The New World, Columbus would have died. He didn't have the food or water to make it all the way to Asia. By the time he reached The Bahamas, his crew was out of provisions, and would have died had they turned back for Spain.

@@theoptimisticskeptic Fish are actually a bit scarce in the middle of the ocean. The best fishing is over continental shelves, or even closer to coastlines. There is a reason various countries, like Russia and China, are often caught fishing within the EEZs of the United States and Canada. It also takes a lot of fish to feed a whole crew, and a fish-only diet is not good long-term.

Thats because Canadians unlike Americans realize that the US is not the center of the universe. Take for instance slavery. For some reason Google thinks slavery started with the Atlantic slave trade as no matter how you search slavery, Google misdirects you to the Atlantic slave trade.

@@tocarules what? how is Columbus American centrism? an Italian explorer for Spain who never set foot in the United States of America. also, the slave trade was either started by the portugese or arabians depending on what you consider the beginning.

@@billrobertjoe First you should reread my comment. Then do things like look at a map and ask yourself why does the US appear to be so much larger than Canada when its much smaller by land mass. Bet my bottom dollar you know very little about Canada or the EU or pretty much anything of any country other than the US. Hey, dont feel bad as our education system is just as bad. The only thing Canadians like many others know about the US is what they see coming out of Hollyweed. Actually the slave trade started in Africa. As long as theres been humans theres been slavery. Take Harris for example. She kept prisoners past their release date as they needed the slaves. Thanks to Obama Libya has open air slave trading. China with the Turkic in forced vital organ donation/slave labor camps where people find notes to rescue them in stuff they buy? Hell, China just had a bunch of sweeter siezed for using slaves. What about Apple? Child labor for Cobalt? The US to have white slaves working textile and tobacco. Many of the white poor people from Europe had to work 2 years as a slave to earn the right to freedom. Then there was Anthony Johnson the first legal slave owner in the US that just happened to be black. The liberals dont like that fact so much.

@@tocarules number one, the most popular map projection "mercator" makes Canada FUCKING HUGE and leaves America looking normal i don't know much about Canada cause it isn't important, but i know about the eu cause it is important you know exactly which slave trade i was talking about, you don't have to pull this surface level shit out of your ass.

@@tocarules "why does the US appear to be so much larger than Canada when its much smaller by land mass. " Like the other comment, The Mercator Projection distorts the size of objects as the latitude increases from the Equator to the poles, where the scale becomes infinite. So, for example, Greenland and Antarctica appear much larger relative to land masses near the equator than they actually are. Another example is that Greenland and Africa are roughly shown as the same size, although in reality, Africa is about fourteen times larger. Because it is impossible to project a (roughly) spherical earth onto a flat map without significant distortion. The projection, I think you're talking about is the Robinson Projection which makes America bigger than it actually is.

Came to write this myself.

The natives discovered the land and Amerigo Vespucci realized that it's another continent.

The word 'discovered' has a meaning to it. The topic is specifically about who was first to find America, not about who was first to inhabit it.
