Europe's family tree has a THIRD branch: Link found in genetic connection between Modern Europeans and Native Americans
Europeans share DNA with ancient hunters and Middle Eastern farmers
Study claims Europeans also share their genes with North Eurasians
This group gave their DNA to the people who traveled the Bering Strait
Ancient Middle Eastern farmers and their European descendants can trace ancestry to a previously unknown lineage called the Basal Eurasians
It has long been believed that modern Europeans descended from indigenous hunters and Middle Eastern farmers.
But a new study suggests all Europeans today have DNA from a third mystery group: Ancient North Eurasians. This group appears to have contributed DNA to present-day Europeans, as well as to the people who travelled across the Bering Strait into the Americas more than 15,000 years ago.
The study is based on analysis of ancient DNA which has shifted scientists' ideas of how groups of people migrated across the globe thousands of years ago. It also revealed that ancient Middle Eastern farmers and their European descendants can trace much of their ancestry to a previously unknown, even older lineage called the Basal Eurasians.
'Prior to this paper, the models we had for European ancestry were two-way mixtures. We show that there are three groups,' said David Reich, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School.
'This also explains the recently discovered genetic connection between Europeans and Native Americans,' Professor Reich added.
'The same Ancient North Eurasian group contributed to both of them.'

Eric the Red and his clan Vikings - and later, the Sinclares and clansmen from Scotland - YOU do the research (my post # 20 can give you a stepping stone).
Especially the tribes of he Iroquois Federation - not just their taller stature, sometime blue/green eyes, lighter hair, etc - but even the Onondagas, People of the longhouses - every bit like the Vikings...
And then there were the Mandans.
History deliberately buried...
Ping to the “3rd” human genome.
LOL!
I’m talking Minoans going to Michigan, Celts going up the Mississippi.
Way before even Erik (not Eric) the Red!

I can’t figure out which of the three branches got the Neanderthal genes, and when.
Note: this topic is from 9/17/2014. Thanks Pharmboy. Missed on the first go-round.
Why aren’t Africans more evolved than Europeans?
The short version is because the Europeans had to PLAN for the cold...those that couldn't plan and make food stores, etc for the winter didn't make it.
Reduced vitamin D intake because of all the clothes to keep warm, caused them to turn White.
