Did Australia also have such a bridge to Singapore and the rest of Asia? I know that Tasmania and the mainland were connected at several times from fossil evidence, but like I said, human history is not my strong point, so I'm not sure if such a link existed during human existence.

Then again, there is a collection of islands going straight to Asia, so island hopping would have been a lot more feasible.

No, America was from Russia. I thought everyone knew of the land bridge? What happened was, during a ice age the water lowered (as it is wont to do during a ice age) and we walked across.
That's the ancient, well-known theory; it's since been revised. I believe they now think we traveled down the coasts in crude boats, bizarre as that might seem.

Of course, there's a lot of conflicting theories regarding the specifics, so I'm not sure of the exact details.


Anyway, I'm seconding Hispanic and Other European. No idea on more specific elements.

The Polynesians (settlers of Hawaii, Tahiti, Rapa Nui, et cetera) were amazing navigators with sturdy boats.

What coasts are these?

No, I believe that was island hopping, but seeing as I am a American and we study our history mostly (Because what other history matters?) I do not know for sure.

For a minute I thought 'et cetera' was an island.  :P

Saying Mexican is like saying Canadian, there are a ton of ethnicities in the mix that makes up what is now considered Mexican.

I would guess Mediterranean, Spanish or Italian, I would be more surprised if you were indigenous american, but judging ethnicity by looks has never been accurate.

Could be partly Filipino. Also, it isn't really possible to be accurate from a photo, so any guess could be wrong enough to border racist. Just have fun with a guessing game.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I know this is a long shot, but several of your features are similar to mine (Tall, Skin a light tan, Hair dark and curly), so i'm going to have to go with Dutch or Lowland German ancestry.

I'm willing to bet there are a lot more people with that sort of tan then there are people that are solely 'white'.

but, that was via the HistoryHitler and Nostradamus Channel. So I'm skeptical.
Does history even show stuff about Hitler anymore or have they migrated to just crap about pawn shops?  I stopped ever going to that channel when they got obsessed with CGI.
