Native Americans and Polynesians Met Around 1200 A.D.

Great article. It's worth remembering that DNA is only evidence that someone banged, and I imagine there's a fair amount of contact that goes on before that.

A North American group from Colombia

I hope this person just meant to say "Native American", and doesn't really think Colombia is in North America.

(sorry, I've spent the last week proofreading articles...)

North America of course being any part of the Americas in the Northern hemisphere --

The funny thing is, I can't even tell if you're being serious or joking...

Even the Columbia part is weird. Should have been "present-day Columbia" or similar.

Yeah, they also varied between spelling it "Columbia" and "Colombia" in the same article.

But I get it, there's not a lot of money in popular science publishing so they may not even have a copy editor, at least those kinds of stories are still getting popularized and not just 'ancient aliens'.
