i can see this point of view. wouldnt you think that if the people were distinguished by a mark on the skin, and names that represented to lines of thought, that some remnant of this would be left behind?
mormon died in what 400 ad? 1823 is only 1400 years away, thats not that much time.
this is why, in part, i believe it disingenious to teach people of south america that the book of mormon teaches the story of their people. or the missionaries in guatemala to teach that tikal was the place of old lamanite temples.
i think the group of people in the book of mormon is a very very small sampling of people who were already here.
