Synopsis

This book details the author's exploration of the origins of the diverse peoples who inhabited the American continents before European arrival. The author examines the theory that all Native American tribes descended from a Scythian origin, but argues instead that those tribes north of the Isthmus of Panama are of Norse descent, while the tribes to the south descended from Chinese immigrants. The author posits that a combination of factors led to the divergence of Native American languages, including the presence of different ethnic groups, the lack of a common government, and the scattering of families into isolated groups. He also discusses the broader history of worldwide expeditions and advancements in the study of foreign languages. This volume provides a broad, comprehensive look at the diverse origins of Native American peoples, the evolution of their languages, and the history of exploration and scholarship in these areas.
