Question

Have any bones 15,000 years or older been found of native americans?

Answer 1

You would have to define what you mean by native american.  If you mean have remains been found in north america then yes.  However, the chance that a living tribe can prove affiliation is very slim.  Currently this is the debate with NAGPRA laws and anthropology.

Answer 2

probably. that would have been during the ice age when it would have been possible to come from russia through Alaska on the ice bridge.

Answer 3

The oldest bones found in North America, were from the Gulf of Mexico region, and were carbon-dated to 28,000 years BP...

That would be after the Ice Age which ended ca. 32,000 years ago (2 Ice-Ages ago), and probably represents the first Homo sapiens migration on foot, across the Bering Land Bridge...

Answer 4

Not older enough to make any difference. Native Americans are recent immigrants to the Americas; recent in the geological sense.

The genetic trail makes this a lock.

Answer 5

I'm not sure about this, but cool question!  Why do you ask?

Answer 6

I don't actually know but I hold, for the moment, the position that native Americans have been on this continent about 18,000 years or longer.
