Pre-Historical Multiple Movements Of Modern Humans From Old World To Americas: Evidence Based On Comparing Basic Body Part- Name Words With Austronesian

Basic body-part name vocabulary of representative Native American languages (NAmLs) and Eurasian languages was compared with ca. 1300 Austronesian (AN) basic words and with basic words of Eurasian languages. By applying closest similarity analysis of occurring frequencies of thus found AN cognates (of non-AN vocabulary) in subgroups of AN, NAmLs are concluded to have been derived from various branches of AN family, by human movements not only via Behring landbridge but also via trans-Pacific sailing rout (as represented by Maipuran language in Amazonian area). Such independent human movements to Americas are concluded to be much more frequent than has been generally considered.
