A recent DNA research on the bones of a boy who lived along the shores of Lake Baikal in Siberia shows... that Native Americans share much of their genetic material with Middle Easterners and Europeans...
Published in the journal Nature, the study of the genome of the boy, who lived twenty-four thousand years ago, shows that fully one-third of his DNA was from West Eurasian peoples linked to the Middle East and Europe....
The study... could help clear up some long-standing mysteries regarding... some genetic singularities.
Co-author and ancient DNA specialist Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen states "these results were a great surprise to [them]."
...it shows no evidence of any relation to East Asians who are living now...
The boy at the center of the research was about three to four years old at the time he died. He had brown eyes, dark hair, and freckles. He was buried wearing an ivory crown and beaded necklace with a carved pendant in the shah of a bird...
No one disputes that a land bridge indeed was created between Siberia and Alaska and that people must have at some point used it to get to the Americas...
Perhaps most intriguing of all, especially to anthropologists, is the fact that the boy was buried with objects indicating an origin that was far to the West of where he lived. Some of the items that were part of his burial include Venus figurines—the ubiquitous European figurines from the Paleolithic era that have been found as far West as France...
The people to which the boy who lived along Lake Baikal belonged were part of an Upper Paleolithic society called the Mal'ta.

Mormons traditionally believe American Indians are descended from the lost tribes of Israel. Maybe they are right.
Hast Du gesehen in deinem Leben?
No, they’re not.
Wow Indians are descendants of
Asians? Now who would have thought of that?
I thought Indians were descendants of Swedes!
And we needed DNA to prove this?
Since man began in the Middle East, then spread out to all points, the land in most of the world belonged to no one; whoever got there first laid claim to it. “Native Americans” who came from the Middle East, claimed it.
A global flood. Noah. Ever hear of it? Anyone? Safe to say that we are all related.
The Trick after claiming it is to keep it- Most lands were taken over by stronger people- Some was gained by bargaining-
I have a small grooved “celt” identical to those found in Europe.
One of my kin found it lying on the ridge amongst the so-called “Indian mounds”.
Du hast!!!

My main impediment to moving is an available arm chair with an internet connection.
Yeah, an armchair, an internet connection, and a waste basket.
OK; an armchair, the internet, a wastebasket and popcorn.
It is now totally obvious that early North Americans were the original east Palistenians and we colonials took their land.
Because it’s obviously not the same study, or the same information.
Cool that on the archaeological find and DNA study, but it confirms what we already knew.
based on your response, I would venture to guess you believe there was actually a COVID pandemic and that COVID 19 is actually a "novel virus" and not just the same old SARS/COV2 we have almost built herd immunity to.
But MY post is "stupid" and yours is highly intelligent because it aligns with mass consensus .....LOL
No, your post is stupid because it’s stupid. Carbon dating is based solely in physics, and furthermore has nothing to do with COVID.
in other words Carbon Dating is "total bullshit"
and now they are starting to use DNA data to create more science fiction, in fact, the data supports that you are so intelligent that the Covid analogy was rejected as out of context, even though the point was false application of facts to support a fictional fantasy fairytale by scientists for political purpose (usually to get funding), wow, now that is scientific thinking if there ever was
if only I could be so intelligent, then maybe I could make intelligent posts just like you
I am so impressed by your superior intellect !...carry on and I would bet you believe in "evolution" as well even though there is ZERO evidence to support that theory as well but then again it has nothing to do with DNA evidence either [/s]
