Are Black and White Americans one people or two separate peoples inhabiting the same land?

@BeachBum even those that were "here first"

@Amylynne obviously the exception is the original occupying American Indian people.

All black, All white people are invaders to the traditional owners of America.

@BeachBum the mastodons, camels and horses that were here might disagree, were there any left.
and that suggests only the first wave of immigration, seems there were many and few or none of those first, "first people" survive

Those early first people (it is theorised and guestimated by some historans) arrived in the americas region 40,000 years ago and are referred to as paleo indians.

There are no formal records prior to the 15th century.
Regardless, there was an established network of tribes when Europeans invaded & subequently brought african slaves to their soil.

Neither of which are very considerate towards the traditional inhabitants of the land.

@BeachBum actually there are formal records in mesoamerica, just not in western languages. not my forte, but i took the prerequisite classes.
current DNA dates to about 25,000 years, older dates are speculative.
it is interesting to note that the oldest dna, is of people that when extinct pretty far back as well, Current native populations are not of that genetic range, as so are themselves interlopers.
I DO love history.
the paisley caves in oregon have human DNA that dates back 14,000 (pre clovis)

@Amylynne well thanks. That is quite interesting 😊
