If we hold that Adam and Eve started out in ancient Mesopotamia and then humanity spread out from there... how did Native Americans and other people in the "western" continent get all the way over there? I mean, it was hard enough for people after "ancient times" get a boat over there without dying on the way. How did they even get there???
Unless we can accept the Pangea theory that all the continents were one big continent and that continental drift is a real thing (which I don't think would contradict Creationism at all).
But I'm just curious as to how they got there...
The human genome project has cleared up a lot of mysteries like that. They can actually trace the movements of ancient peoples through the genetic lines. They know that there was less water in the Bering Sea at one point and that Siberians traveled across the Bering Straight into N. America. The Inuit and the Siberians are very similar genetically but then so are we all--with just minor variations. Interestingly, all humans can trace their ancestry back to "mitochondrial Eve".
