From a religious point of view:
It isn't known were Adam and Eve originally came from since the whole face of the earth was changed during the flood. There may not even have been continents at the time.
Adam was created outside the Garden of Eden, but the Garden itself (where God then placed him) is thought to have been near the Persian Gulf. See also:
Is there evidence for Creation?
The most commonly believed source of the early inhabitants of the Americas is from Asia.
Some people refer to the time before Europeans arrived in the Americas as Pre-Colonial days. The Europeans went through a period of Renaissance before the Colonists first came to the Americas.
The North American continent was discovered in 1492. Martin Luther with his 95 Theses occurred in 1517 in Germany. The beginning of the settlement of the Americas didn't occur for another 100 years, about 1620. The Counter-Reformation was the Roman Catholic Church's response to the changes brought about by the Reformation. So any effect on people occurred long before settlers came to America.
Christopher Columbus brought the first white people to the Americas. There was already Native Indians that lived here first before anyone.
Scientists believe that the first Americans, called the Paleo-Indians, came to the continent from Asia well over 10,000 years ago.
I don't think Christopher Columbus was the first to discover the Americas somebody did it before him but because he was sent by the king and queen he was recognized for doing it first. It is possible that long before Christopher Columbus Lief Erickson, a Viking, may have sailed to the Americas. For practical intent and purpose Christopher Columbus was responsible for the discovery of the Americas as the result of exploration commissioned by the Queen of Spain. "Discovered" means to learn or find something for the first time. To say that Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas is to say that there was no one, no people there before him. Yet this is untrue and offensive to those Natives who "don't count" as humans to be able to discover the Americas. More to the point, there have been countless journeys to the Americas from various places on the globe, way before Columbus (including most well known voyages of the Afro-Phoenicians to the eastern coast of Mexico in ~750 B.C.E). To say the Americas were discovered anytime C.E. (A.D.) is factually incorrect. The first travelers to the Americas can be found anywhere from 70,000-12,000 B.C.E. from Siberia to Alaska, due to archeological evidence that shows the survivors populated the Americas.

It depends who you ask, because some people believe that the Americas are one continent, but generally speaking, South America is a continent.
Some people refer to the time before Europeans arrived in the Americas as Pre-Colonial days. The Europeans went through a period of Renaissance before the Colonists first came to the Americas.
Originally, people believed that the Clovis people were the first inhabitants of the Americas due to their distinctive stone tools. It was thought that they were the earliest human culture on the continent until later discoveries pushed back the timeline of human presence in the Americas.
Africans.
There were no cattle in the Americas prior to the coming of the Europeans. In North America, however, there were plenty of buffalo.
"The Americas" include all of North America. So I'd say people from the North American continent, which includes different countries, are definitely welcome in the world and have been for a very long time.
People from Europe, Australia, and the Americas used to call Africa the "dark continent." There were two reasons. One, was that it was very difficult for explorers who went there, and many of them died of illnesses such as yellow fever and malaria. Second, was because most of the continent was unknown as a result of that difficulty in exploration.
