DNA Shows Native Americans Have Origin in Western Eurasia
Greek Reporter ^ | November 5, 2023 | Patricia Claus

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.

People seem to forget that there was also an ICE bridge between Europe and eastern North America. People could have walked across the ice to the New World........................

Landlubbers think that bodies of water are impediments to moving from here to there. They’re always wrong about that.

Wasn’t it recently announced that some other group of people landed and established residency here before the Indians?

The author of one book I read was pretty confident that Native Americans traveled from Tadjikistan.

“It’s not like you can say that they are really closely related to Japanese, Chinese, or Koreans, so there seems to be something missing”

What about Tibetans?

Well, there were probably at least 3 waves of migration, but all of their descendants ended up being called “indians” by the Europeans when they got here.

I’ve always said that they appear to be of Asian origin. Same goes for a lot of Hispanics as well.

“Asians” can mean two different things though. East Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, etc) is very different genetically from Eurasian (Siberians, Altaic, Huns, Tatars, etc).
