This is not conclusive proof, as in 100%...............but the evidence is very strong..........esp. with the earliest human and hominid skeletons found in East Africa.............that the 1st Americans were negroid Africans.........kinda like in law......u never really prove it..........but within a reasonable doubt...........i am sure that they were but in science and scholarship u have to strengthen the evidence..........



I doubt she came from Australia............East African kingdoms went east.........and i am sure the Aborigines of Australia are from East Africa............but this woman here i bet is a descendant of west Africans...........................it is not far at all from NE Brazil.........where they found her.........to the West coast of Africa.........

'First Americans were Australian' 

This is the face of the first known American, Lucia 

The first Americans were descended from Australian aborigines, according to evidence in a new BBC documentary.

The skulls suggest faces like those of Australian aborigines

The programme, Ancient Voices, shows that the dimensions of prehistoric skulls found in Brazil match those of the aboriginal peoples of Australia and Melanesia. Other evidence suggests that these first Americans were later massacred by invaders from Asia.
Until now, native Americans were believed to have descended from Asian ancestors who arrived over a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska and then migrated across the whole of north and south America. The land bridge was formed 11,000 years ago during the ice age, when sea level dropped.

How rock art suggests a violent end for the "Australian" Americans

However, the new evidence shows that these people did not arrive in an empty wilderness. Stone tools and charcoal from the site in Brazil show evidence of human habitation as long ago as 50,000 years.
The site is at Serra Da Capivara in remote northeast Brazil. This area is now inhabited by the descendants of European settlers and African slaves who arrived just 500 years ago.
But cave paintings found here provided the first clue to the existence of a much older people.

The costumes and rituals shown in rock art survived in Terra del Fuego

Images of giant armadillos, which died out before the last ice age, show the artists who drew them lived before even the natives who greeted the Europeans.
These Asian people have facial features described as mongoloid. However, skulls dug from a depth equivalent to 9,000 to 12,000 years ago are very different.
Walter Neves, an archaeologist from the University of Sao Paolo, has taken extensive skull measurements from dozens of skulls, including the oldest, a young woman who
