Are modern East/s Southeast Asians genetically distinct from early humans?

Genetic research indicates that populations related to modern East/Southeast Asians existed as distinct genetic lineage already during early human times (see Tianyuan man or Liujiang man ).

Is Native American a race or ethnicity?

The term “Native American” is incorrect, since they are not native to the New World – their ancestors came from Asia. And they are merely a classified group, not a race or ethnicity. Technically, their race is Mongoloid (Asian).
