In the US, most people aren't descendants of the people who lived there before 1492. This tends to colour everyone's attitude to prehistoric archaeology. Archaeogenetics have now shown Scandinavians something unexpected. We are almost unrelated to the various groups living here before 2800 BC, including the builders of our most impressive megalithic tombs. We are not a First Nation. 2800 BC is our AD 1492.
