DNA have been planted by aliens, could have ridden here on an asteroid 
or meteor too.  Or we could just be a naturally occuring phenomena that 
occurs on planets of similar environments during a certain period of the 
planet's existence.  We're really just organic machines.


Of course the universe may exist inside a ball of some bored kid playing 
soccer who exists in a universe inside a ball on a dog's collar, etc, 
etc, etc.

blow to human self-confidence and pride? Or would we feel a sense of 
connection with the teeming life forms in the wider universe?


I guess the answer depends on whether the seeding was done by a wise, 
advanced group of enlightened beings; or was the prank of the alien 
equivalent of a bored spotty teenager.


I certainly wouldn't rule out the theory of panspermia. It would be 
the turning point in human history if we found a coded message buried 
in our DNA sequence revealing the great secret . . .

 Bhairitu,


I've heard another version of this story.  There are some researchers 
who believe that the ancient Polynesians may have reached Peru and 
California by boat.  They were excellent sailors and used the night 
skies for direction and dead reckoning.



So, the current accepted theory that the native Indians came from 
Asia via the Bering Straight may not be accurate at all.

There's also the complication that human remains have themselves become a 
political battle - see the controversy over Kennewick Man - so that 
Indian/native American groups want to re-bury the skeletons while scientists 
want to investigate the bones to learn more about the make-up of your distant 
ancestors.  
 

 Re the Vikings: yes, I'd forgotten about them. There's no dispute they landed 
on the continent but they never claimed the areas they visited (on what were 
essentially foraging raids) as colonies.
