10 Mysterious Human Populations

10 Population Y

The Americas were the final frontier for human expansion. Most believe they were populated 15,000 years ago in one wave via the Bering land bridge. However, recent findings suggest a different story. Geneticists recently discovered DNA that closely resembles that of modern-day Australian Aboriginals and indigenous Papua New Guineans in the most unlikely of places: Amazonia. Experts have named this new founding group “Population Y.”

These colonizers did not arrive via boat. They came in a separate wave across the Bering Strait. Their unique genetic signatures were similar but not identical to modern Austronesians—suggesting Population Y intermingled with an ancient Asian lineage before crossing.

In 2003, Brazilian scientists were shocked to discover Polynesian DNA in the bones of the extinct Botocudo tribe. However, the Botocudo anomalies are different from the recently discovered ones. The populating of the Americas was far more interesting and diverse than previously imagined.

3 Hazara

Afghanistan’s third-largest minority, the Hazara have been the object of persecution for centuries. They are Shiite—unlike their Suni neighbors. Many claim their East Asian features were inherited from the Mongol Horde. During the 19th century, half their population was either killed or forced into exile. The threat continues today at the hands of the Taliban, who consider them infidel foreigners.

Analysis has revealed that the Hazara poses Turko-Mongol genetics. This lends credence to the theory that they descended from Genghis Khan. However, they also possess genes from the area’s original inhabitants—in addition to contributions from Tajik and other Silk Road travelers. They now comprise half of Kabul’s population.

Good article.

I had expected to see the Olmecs on the list.

I read that Caucasians were the FIRST humans in the Americas. They were the mammoth hunters.
They dug great pits then would drive the beasts into the pit. Then the men would kill the beast in the pit. Not all of those men made it out of the pit.
Human remains were found in those pits. The skulls were OVAL shaped, thus they were Caucasian.
Oriental Asians had/have ROUND skulls. Thus the Siberian hunter groups who migrated over the Bering Straits were the second human population on the American continents.

I suppose it doesn't matter but it used to annoy me hearing the din of "native" Americans all the time. American Indians are of Oriental origin.

Another measurement is acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency which happens when Oriental Asians, "American Indians," drink alcohol. Oriental Asians, including "American Indians," get that "flush"; other racial groups do NOT, thus proving their Oriental Asian descent.

Indian, Pakistanis, Afghanistanis and other Asian Causasians do NOT have the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.

Oh well.

I started to read this rather interesting article, but then I came across the snide hit against Trump and lost interest. When someone cannot keep their politics out of a story like this, I have to wonder what other manipulations they are writing.

...the snide hit against Trump...

That was truly bizarre.

Here’s something else that proves “American Indians” are Asians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_spot

Epicanthic folds occur among East Asians, Southeast Asians, Central Asians and some South Asians, Indigenous Americans, the Khoisan, Inuit, and occasionally among Nilotes,[6] and non-Indo-Europeans[disambiguation needed] (e.g. Sami, Finns, and Hungarians).[7][8][9]

"I started to read this rather interesting article, but then I came across the snide hit against Trump and lost interest. When someone cannot keep their politics out of a story like this, I have to wonder what other manipulations they are writing."

I asked a researcher friend of mine why is it today that most research articles will conclude (or include) with something like, "and these conditions are expected to worsen as global warming increases."

He said that grants are not awarded to people who do not embrace the global warming lie. So.....

My son has a PhD in physics and he said it's hard for a White male to get a grant of any consequence these days. He works for a major defense contractor and his next three bosses are females, two of them are Black and he is better educated than any of them.

Norway owes half of their genetic makeup to this group. However, they also traveled east—reaching as far as the Altai Mountains. The Yamnaya might be responsible for things we now consider European, such as the ability to drink milk. Prior to the Bronze Age, 90 percent of Europeans were lactose intolerant. Yamnaya have the highest incidence of the mutation that allows milk digestion.

No Yamnaya, No Dairy Queen.

That is really infuriating. I do hope your son hangs in there and does well despite the headwinds.

I forgot the term, but you will know:

It is a bump on the back of the skulls of Bering straight crossers, that is not present in Caucasians.

Native Americans possess this bump.

Apparently Kennewick Man did not have this bump.

Do you know the term? It escapes me. It is not related to phrenology.

I fear it will take us losing a major shooting war before competence becomes the key promotion criterion, over diversity, in the military and government contractors.

One of the waves was from the Battlestar Galactica when they sent the crew down to the surface.

Interesting...I wonder if Kennewick man DNA has mystery genes, too. Pre Columbian Americans? Maybe...

Ramapough Mountain People

Used to be spelled "Ramapo" (I guess they got the "ugh" when they were recognized as Indians) and considered "tri-racial isolates."

Pure blooded Indians are very rare on the East Coast, so it's not surprising that their ancestry was mixed.
