...The new research was published in the journal PLOS ONE on Wednesday, August 17, wherein researchers found evidence of human Y chromosome sequences from an unidentified group in South America.
The findings reportedly bring promising results that can potentially solve the mystery behind the missing genetic link of the human migration into South America.
In recent years, multiple studies have continued to conduct the genetic mapping of human migration since our ancient ancestors left the continent of Africa around 60,000 years ago. From there, our predecessors expanded their presence and settlements across the six continents of the world...
Amongst these research, three studies published in the journals Cell, Science, and Science Advances in November 2018 show there is evidence of several human migrations into South America in ancient times.
The data is previously unknown to science and reportedly aims to figure out the story of how people settled and thrived in the high-elevated lands of the Andes.
The 2018 research also challenges the conventional notion that the migration of humans in the sub-continent was a result of a literal downward direction around 13,000 years ago.
Instead, the studies revealed that ancestors of Native Americans move to the Americas from Siberia as early as between 17,000 and 14,000 years ago, crossing the land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska. This group of ancient humans was a product of the people living in Siberia around 25,000 years ago.
The previous papers have not emphasized on any human Y chromosomes, unlike the new study. However, they highlight the migration toward South America did not occur only once which was a part of a series of movement toward the Andes.

We've had the week's digest ping topic, but I would have used this one had the writing been better.
The editor who wrote this headline needs to be flayed alive.
Upcoming topics, unless they’ve been posted before this, in which case, Failing Memory Lane will have struck again.

That may be excessive, but at the very least, should be sent for a random drug screening, and given a literacy test.
Well, you can't prove it didn't happen.
Reminds me ofthe koala bear outlaw that eats shoots and leaves.

Your main links are bad. link to video works though.
For a long time I have found it hard to beleive that Polynesians would spend thousands of years island hopping eastward only to stop at Easter Island.
Bad, bad links!
Must have lost a letter during the cut and paste.
same here.
“Look! I invent chromosome!”
“That’s an air mattress.”
“You want to be pedantic, or go swimming?”
LOL. Google Chromosomes.
Haha. The headline makes it sound like chromosomes were discovered 18,000 years ago.
There are human sites in SA that go back 300,000 years. These are just a bunch of newcomers.
Many years ago I was visiting a friend in NYC. He showed me an ancient figurine about 10 inches tall. I don’t remember if it was wooden or stone. He asked me if I knew where it was from. I said, “That’s easy. It’s from Egypt...probably out of a pyramid.” He laughed, and told me it was found in Peru.
lol
Thanks you for correct links. 🙂
