Please have your husband comment on these findings when he can...
That seems plausible. I was wondering how populated that area was to begin with.
Agreed. That’s why I put “American Indian” in the key words. As I understand, it is how the aboriginal Americans prefer to be referred to.
I have not kept up with the more modern ideas on this. And of course, now with the ability to track DNA it’s completely changed how we can look at it. I find it interesting tho.
Not that surprising. Genetic marker science had already shown by the early 90’s that all modern humans came from one WOMAN. Then 10 years later those same scientists showed that all humans also came from one MAN. Essentially, it was genetic confirmation of the Adam and Eve story, really.
So I guess no DNA matches with any modern day descendants or relatives of those Israelite tribes exiled to Assyria around 2700 years ago?
Extensive testing and historical research shows my peoples came to America over the air bridge in a 707, circa 1968.
Genesis 11:8&9, says that the Lord SCATTERED the folk over the face of the earth.
Verse 4 says...the whole earth.
"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans
Read Red Earth, White Lies: Native Americans and the Myth of Scientific Fact by Vine Deloria. At 15 bucks or so, it's a much better investment than some NIH or NSF grant, and also more likely correct.

Salving the wound? ;-)
You mean like this small remnant East Cost tribal group of Colonial Dames (and Dude) who look suspiciously to be of European origin to me:
Oh I love the dress on the right.....
Ping for truth!
This study does not really dispel evidence of other immigrations across the Pacific and Atlantic.
Yes...that would be great. And what about Kennewick Man?
Same here.
Sometimes I check the little Native American box just to annoy the HR people.
What? No Hebrew blood? LOL
This study seems to support Greenberg’s Amerind idea about there being one basic tongue from which all the others (except two cases) descend.
