Columbus still would not have been correct, since he still grossly underestimated the size of the Earth. Had the Americas never existed, which was the current knowledge in his country at the time, he would've run out of supplies in the middle of the ocean. That was the reason for the Queen and her scientific advisors to disagree with his voyages. Having The Americas helps out tremendously, as it is a place to re-supply your ship while en route, once colonies are established within. Pre-1900's in our timeline, you had to go all the way around South America, with only a tiny shortcut formed by Magellan's strait, and there was almost no advantage to using the trade route proposed by Columbus. Had a naturally-navigable strait existed in the Caribbean across Central America in our timeline, it would've made it a viable trade route, with a huge advantage over Vasco De Gamma's trade route around South Africa.

Columbus’ man: Sir, We discover bird as big of ostrich and as vicious as an eagle. Captain: what do we call it? Columbus’ man: Angry duck

7:11 Something signficant that Cody missed here is that there could be Polynesian settlement in South America. There is evidence of historical contact and interaction between Polynesians and South America: the cultivation of the sweet potato by Polynesians, and native american admixture in some Polynesian populations. The two explanations are either the polynesians reached South America, or South Americans sailed out into polynesia. If we are going with the narrative that Native Americans wouldn't develop seafaring technology, we assume the former explanation is true. This could make for a very unique timeline, where instead of trading with the natives, the Polynesians settle permanently in South America and explore the continent. Basically what I'm saying is that once you factor in the huge flightless birds we pretty much get New Zealand, but a whole lot bigger. Despite this I would expect the population to be smaller than in OTL, so we might have Polynesians mixed with the Spanish along the western coast, then the mixed Spanish-African culture in the east as Cody decribed.

The non existence of the Isthmus of Panama would have some interesting implications on the U.S. Navy though. Near constantly whenever you talk about ship design with the U.S., size limitation due to needing to be able to pass through the Panama canal is first on the list. Off the cuff, the Iowa's were limited to allow maneuvering through the canal and the Montana Class was cancelled due to requiring the expansion of the canal. Popular science has a good article on the effects of the canal called "How The Panama Canal Changed The Shape Of War."

And what about the Caribs? They didn’t just settle the Islands they settled the coast of south and central America.

It only took humans two thousand years to settle the pacific I’m pretty sure they would be able to beat the Spanish to South America by at least 10,000 years.

Man I have always compared you two when I first discovered your channels at around the same time. So it's great that you guys are finally acknowledging and collaborating with each other. xD

"Sailing out to sea rarely ever worked out unless you were Polynesia." Or the Vikings. Or a handful of Asian countries around Korea/Japan/East China. Or possibly Carthage depending on how much stock you put in their stories about going around Africa and how far away they got. Or the peoples of the Caribbean. Or anybody who sailed the pre-Viking North Sea. Or the Minoans, maybe? Point being Polynesians were REALLY good at sea-sailing, but they were hardly the only people to ever do it and just going "eh the Mayans/Aztecs/Olmecs/whomever don't do it" feels super dismissive when a lot of cultures that lived on archipelagos or peninsulas developed at least some kind of seafaring capability - you've even got the Caribbean to island-hop around on.

Actually, if the Caribbean islands were colonized by people from North America, there's a very good chance that South America would have been reached. In our own timeline, the Caribbean islands were colonized by indigenous people that island hopped their way from island to island, so it could have been populated but to what extent would be hard to say. Also, the Polynesians did make contact with South America before the Spanish, so even if South America hadn't been reached before by native Americans, the Europeans would not have gotten there first.

The mention of the Polynesians means its possible humans still might have gotten over there, but they might have done so much later, which still has its own interesting implications.
