Despite general resistence, representatives of tribes in the US recently gave their blessing for DNA analysis of the remains of a Stone Age child. Research conducted on the boy's genes indicate that Native Americans have European roots.
It must have been a pretty special child, otherwise the two-year old wouldn't have been buried in such a ceremonious manner. The boy was sprinkled with celebratory red dust and given distinctive stone artifacts for his last journey.
The characteristic fluting of the stone weapons serve as archeological evidence that the boy, who died some 12,600 years ago, came from the Clovis culture. It was one of the earliest New World groups, disappearing mysteriously a few centuries after the child's burial in present day Montana. From the summit of a hill towering over the burial site near the Yellowstone River, the boy's Ice Age contemporaries could monitor their hunting grounds for mammoth and bison.
Now a team of scientists led by the Danish geneticist Eske Willerslev has analyzed the boy's origins and discovered that he descends from a Siberian tribe with roots tracing back to Europe. Some of the boy's ancestors are likely even to have lived in present-day Germany.
Their findings go even further: More than 80 percent of all native peoples in the Americas -- from the Alaska's Aleuts to the Maya of Yucatan to the Aymaras along the Andes -- are descended from Montana boy's lineage.

Like the inclusion of Neanderthal DNA in modern European humans, the European connection of the Clovis people is one of those things that turn LIBERAL scientists to fudge their science and condemn those who tell the truth.
Nothing new here. It’s the same with Gorebull warming. Science has been politicized for years.
Hell, since the Mexicans only need to cross a little creek, that must make us Whiteys the 'wetback' champs of all time d:^)
I think the Eastern Indians came from Europe. But I believe the Newport Tower is built by the Vikings.
The land has passed between so many cultures over eons and sometimes mere decades that only possession grants right of title.
LOL!
This will shock some Mormons...
Abruptly, yes. Mysteriously, no.
Research "Younger Dryas," just a few millimeters deeper than Wikipedia.
The Irish are from Germany. The Indians are from Germany. Talk about culture shock. I’m going to have a lederhosen booth at the Saint Patrick Day celebration and all the Indian gatherings.
To all of my brothers and sisters on the Reservations, let me be the first to welcome you in our native tongue. Guten Tag!
If the boy’s parents were of the Clovis people, I would guess their European ties are to the Merovingians.
I don't see how the reporter came to this conclusion.
Read the article here: The genome of a Late Pleistocene human from a Clovis burial site in western Montana
About the afinity to Euros -
"We found that the Anzick-1 individual showed a statistically significant closer affinity to all 52 Native American groups than to any extant Eurasian population"
"We used outgroup f3-statistics to evaluate the shared genetic history between all Native American populations and the Anzick-1 genome, the 24,000-year-old human sample from Mal’ta, Siberia5 and the 4,000- year-old Saqqaq Palaeo-Eskimo sample from Greenland19. We again found a closer relationship between Anzick-1 and all Native Americans ... Together with the fact that Anzick-1 shows the same relative affinity to western and eastern Eurasians, this suggests that the gene flow from the Mal’ta lineage into Native Americans happened before the NA and SA groups diverged."
The context here is that Europeans, East Asians and Native Americans all descend from the same Pliestocene population. That's why this ancient DNA shows an affinity with Europeans. It's not that he's European, it's that they share a common ancestry.
Lastly -
"In agreement with previous archaeological and genetic studies our genome analysis refutes the possibility that Clovis originated via a European (Solutrean) migration to the Americas."
Despite general resistence, representatives of tribes in the US recently gave their blessing for DNA analysis of the remains of a Stone Age child... sprinkled with celebratory red dust and given distinctive stone artifacts for his last journey... some 12,600 years ago... from the Clovis culture... in present day Montana... Danish geneticist Eske Willerslev has analyzed the boy's origins and discovered that he descends from a Siberian tribe with roots tracing back to Europe. Some of the boy's ancestors are likely even to have lived in present-day Germany... More than 80 percent of all native peoples in the Americas... are descended from Montana boy's lineage.And the other 20 percent... :')
surely FR wouldnt retaliate or censor or censure but censer yeah they do know how to hold a candle
Interesting.
Sinceyer bringin’ in the big guns...
So these Europeans were here before the next wave came post-Columbus?
Very, even though it’s a DNA study and involves a single set of human remains. Human artifacts at least twice (closer to three times) as old as these have not yet been found with human remains. When they are (I don’t have ESP, this is based on what as always happened in the past, the more stuff is studied, the more emerges), it will dump a lot of reputations (living and dead) on their asses.
Any Neanderthal DNA?
Can you spell NSA?
Stop pinging Admin Mod unless you have a good reason.
You have run out of your allotment of subtle little digs.
