The analyses drew from a DNA sample of a man that dated back 800 years and another from a woman that went back 1,500 years, both well before the 1492 arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas. The samples were collected from an archeological site in eastern Uruguay by co-corresponding author Gonzalo Figueiro, a biological anthropologist at the University of the Republic.
The results of the analyses showed a surprising connection to ancient individuals from Panama—the land bridge that connects North and South America—and to eastern Brazil, but not to modern Amazonians. These findings support the theory proposed by some archeologists of separate migrations into South America, including one that led to the Amazonian populations and another that led to the populations along the East coast.

I love it....these people disagree with them selves...and ten others get grant money, too....to try and prove everyone is wrong. What a profession...almost as good as being a weatherman/weatherwoman.
Still awaiting the DNA study to help explain the multi-continental megalithic ruins ignored by orthodox science & built upon by later civilizations...
Biological archaeology - what an advance from collecting pottery shards.
The difficult part is trying to pick up the tiny trowels!
Every 3rd grader knows that ancient people migrated to South America using walrus hide boats from Siberia, going south along the west coast of North America, then going thru the Panama Canal to reach the east coast of Brazil long before Columbus discovered Ohio.

“... long before Columbus discovered Ohio.
LOL - that’s good.
Not a chance in hell. Columbus was only renting a bnb in Ohio. My Jack Russell, a recognized authority in indigenous American populations, told me that it was pre-aboriginal Austrialians that migrated to Antartica, crossed the continent, caught a local flow as far as Tierra Del Fuego, and subsequently migrated to Ecuador and other points North.

I believe it.
Most Uruguayans are far more “Amerigo” than Guarani, which would explain how those Guarani natives were “lost.”
