Austronesians went to America

Here is a map superimposed on another. One is the spread of humans across land out of Africa. The second is the Austronesian expansion using boats. For some reason, Norse expidition apparently crossed the Atlantic, but the people of Hawaii or Easter Islands did not make it to the Americas across the pacific. The red lines are considered fringe or pseudoscience. 


There is plenty of evidence that this happened though
- Skulls matching pacific islanders in South America
- Similar words in the pacific islands and South America
- Chicken found in South America that is not genetically similar to European chicken
- Sweet potatoes in South America
- Similar boat building techniques used in America
- Custard apple carving in Indian Stupa, and elephant carving in Mayan remains


Those are not Elephants on this Mayan stele, according to scientists
