DNA Shows Native Americans Have Origin in Western Eurasia

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.

and Thank You for the interesting perspective

I think I need a new "mask", or maybe a different stage to wear it on.

so sorry for the horrific foul words comparing Bovine Feces to Carbon dating

I won't bother you again
