In spite of the fact that they were "all" Indians, they ALL had cultures of their own and physical differences that made their tribes unique one from the other.
BTW, FYI, The earliest North American Indian remains ever found...those which were determined to be most likely the first inhabitants in this country were related closest to ancient Japenese cultures in the shape of the skulls/eyes, and by the artifacts, etc.

Acient Austrailians I believe would be considered part of the polynesains of oceania.
I saw a show on the discovery channel about this a couple of months ago. This is a site about the theory (I couldn't find the story on dicovery's site)
