Life out of our Solar system? Wait, what?

Are you related to native americans? Just your profile pic and all.

They were long ago slaughtered by the British and later on by the American settlers so I doubt.

[Gandalf]

The continents that would later be referred to as the Americas did.

The area that would later be referred to as Russia did too.

There are still descendants of Native Americans in America....

You mean descendants of Russians 

[JDC]

Contemporary Americans are a mix of Native Americans and Europeans.
Native Americans are the descendants of Russians who crossed the Bering.
Europeans have plenty of Russian blood among them too.

So basically, you "Americans" are mostly Russians.

That aside, didn't all humans originate from Africa?

That is one of the viable theories. DNA research has shown we were once near extinction, down to a couple of thousand or even couple of hundred individuals living near the Middle East.
From there something was developed that made us spread around the globe.
What was before that time, and what developments were are stil open for debate.

Umm, if we care about who descended from who, shouldnt we also care about the fact that we descended from(and technically still are) monkeys? Our ancestors came out of the glorious ass of the monkeys and evolved into mankind man...

This is one of the things that makes me very supportive of Russian - Canadian relations. We are both countries that take up the majority of the Northern land mass of the world, we are very similar when it comes to our native people, especially those in the north. Frankly I would prefer to see more Russian / Canada cooperation in regards to Arctic sovereignty but thats a different thread for a different day.

If you wanna think we come from  monkeys go ahead. That is a theory of Darwin if not correct but I choose not to follow it. I am not saying that God created human for sure, I like to see things spherically but I strongly object Darwin's theory about where we come and how we developed in the ages. There's just no proof for either of theories, call that a mystery

[Alsatian]

There's no proof for the theory of evolution? 

[Dolfagr]

There's no proof for the theory of evolution? 

I choose not to believe it at least for the human part.

[Exterminator]

Dude..why exactly do we have a brain, and body structure of a primate..oh wait i think i am a primate...

its not just a theory, technically we are all monkeys, who simply evolved by luck. Thats why our minds go into groups and are full on survival, and our basic behaviour is the same as all the other kinds of our species(a.k.a monkeys).

Theres so much proof for evolution i think i may drown in it D:

[Squeak]

Correct to an extent.

Native Americans are the descendants of Russians who crossed the Bering.

So basically, you "Americans" are mostly Russians.

Native Americans are descendants of Asians.

Are you related to native americans? Just your profile pic and all.

Yes.

Why man, why?

Because im fucking trollbait for gandalf

The area that would later be referred to as Russia did too.

It would be more appropriate to refer to the area as Asia.

That aside, didn't all humans originate from Africa?

Yes, you're all blacks.

We did not descend from monkeys. We share a common ancestor with apes but evolved divergently from them.

A common misconception, we still ARE primates...
The last homo evolution was WAY before the dinosaur period, so we invented fire and wheel and all that other shit in our homo form(our current form) and in the same form we also ran through the forests for prey for many millenias.

Your psychology is that of a primate too, yes you still think like a primate, just a larger knowledgebase which makes you act differently, other than that we still classify people into Good, Bad, Prey. We also get overloaded very fast and easy(its hard to notice this though).

[Squeak]

Never said we weren't.

The dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago, so no.
