Ancient Humans Might Have Settled in South America over 18,000 Years Ago After Discovery of Chromosomes [sic]
Nature World News ^ | August 18, 2022 | Louise Franco

...The new research was published in the journal PLOS ONE on Wednesday, August 17, wherein researchers found evidence of human Y chromosome sequences from an unidentified group in South America.

The findings reportedly bring promising results that can potentially solve the mystery behind the missing genetic link of the human migration into South America.

In recent years, multiple studies have continued to conduct the genetic mapping of human migration since our ancient ancestors left the continent of Africa around 60,000 years ago. From there, our predecessors expanded their presence and settlements across the six continents of the world...

Amongst these research, three studies published in the journals Cell, Science, and Science Advances in November 2018 show there is evidence of several human migrations into South America in ancient times.

The data is previously unknown to science and reportedly aims to figure out the story of how people settled and thrived in the high-elevated lands of the Andes.

The 2018 research also challenges the conventional notion that the migration of humans in the sub-continent was a result of a literal downward direction around 13,000 years ago.

Instead, the studies revealed that ancestors of Native Americans move to the Americas from Siberia as early as between 17,000 and 14,000 years ago, crossing the land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska. This group of ancient humans was a product of the people living in Siberia around 25,000 years ago.

The previous papers have not emphasized on any human Y chromosomes, unlike the new study. However, they highlight the migration toward South America did not occur only once which was a part of a series of movement toward the Andes.

My pleasure, and thanks for pointing it out. It’s always good to know (for new topics) because sometimes the source website gets shifty on the links.

“The editor who wrote this headline needs to be flayed alive.”

Why? I thought it was very descriptive. Ancient humans discovered chromosomes 18000 years ago and then decided to settle in America.

Wow! Who would have guessed that chromosomes were discovered 18,000 years ago.

Interesting but yes, this writing is atrocious.

When the Polynesians found that Easter Island was full of toursits they stopped coz it was good money selling trinkets and giving tours to them..

once they find out they were white caucasians they will stop researching this.

Well, you can't prove it didn't happen.

Maybe they worked down from mammoth to chromosomes.

Maybe older!

The question some have asked is “If the Acambaro figurines are fake, who paid to have so many of them done in clay, and who paid the woodcutters for firewood to fire the clay?

Maybe they came from the east, South America! Ever read Kon-Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl?

He made several voyages to prove such voyages could be done.
Kon-Tiki
Voyage of the RA
Aku-Aku.

And I won’t even mention the Mormon’s bogus claim the American Indians came from Israel, whites whose skin turned dark because of their sins.

Woops! I mentioned it after all!

They tried selling those big, giant heads for souvenirs at first, but they couldn't move them. They don't fit in carry on luggage very well I guess.

Then they went to little bobble head hula girls with grass skirts, and JACKPOT!

Yeah, I read Chariot of the Gods when I was a kid.

I think the recent genetic studies show the Easter islanders are polynesian though.

Yup. Some smart Johnny said, “Hey, you know they could put these things on their dashboards!” There’s always some buzzkill around to say, “Wait, they haven’t invented dashboards yet.” Don’t listen to these guys.

However, all of the samples failed the “plateau test”, which indicated that dates obtained for the Acámbaro figures using standard high-temperature TL dating techniques were unreliable and lacked any chronological significance. Based on the degree of signal regeneration found in remeasured samples, they estimated that the figures tested had been fired approximately 30 years prior to 1969.

Those prehistoric South American geneticists were so clever!

The tourist industry is the result of 10,000 years of good, hard work and deep thinking.

Sometimes it just gets a little out of sequence.

They found a mammoth butchering site in New Mexico dated at 37,000 years ago.

movement toward the Andes.

They heard tales of fabled mints...

Yup! Ships, not shoes...

Or canoes, not moccasins.
