The very first immigrants predated the Amerinds by possibly as much as tens of thousands of years ago. They well may have been caucasoid, possible from western Asia, but that is not certain. Gregarious, fire users, tool makers, clothes wearers, they hunted the massive mammals of our High Plains. Then they disappeared long before the folks we call Native Americans arrived in the last 9000 to 13000 years.
Maybe someone(s) from Europe made over the ocean to Florida. Who knows? The Norse made it to the northeast of North America. Some say a Chinese fleet made it to the west coast of what is now Mexico. We know the 100 odd folks of the Roanoke Island Colony simply disappeared before 1590.
Our species, somewhere between the falling angel and the rising ape, is simply amazing. And damn dangerous.
