They were Asian.

DNA From 12,000-Year-Old Skeleton Helps Answer the Question: Who Were the First Americans? | Science | Smithsonian

Anyone saying anything else is just wrong and will provide NO evidence other than 'They look Black to me.'

:snooze:

Quoting the article you posted.

The newly discovered skeleton—named Naia by the divers who discovered her, after the Greek for water—should help to settle this speculation. Though her skull is shaped like those of other early Americans, she shares a DNA sequence with some modern Native Americans.

yet somehow you read this and thought yep she Asian :heh:

No, you didn't read far enough........​

Naia proves that migrations from Beringia made it to southern Mexico. As for why Naia’s skull is so different from modern Native Americans, co- author Deborah Bolnick, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin has an explanation: “The physical differences between Paleoamericans and Native Americans today are more likely due to changes that occurred in Beringia and the Americas over the last 9,000 years.” Bolnick’s lab was one of the three to confirm the mtDNA findings.

There is some evidence that the first people in the Americas were related to Melanesians, and presumably may have looked something like modern Melanesians, if you consider them "black".

I cosign this,plus there is evidence that we could have come to the americas out of Austrailia.
But its a trick question you are asking because the "indians" are another form of melinated people.
You just have the perception that all early africans looked the same,and had the same features as if thats even the case now.
