Native Americans Descended From a Single Ancestral Group, DNA Study Confirms

My husband has been doing some personal research with the DNA studies and just said he understood some of the East Coast tribes came from Europe.

Will you convince hbim to share his studies with us?

We'd like to understand a bit more; too.

[Elsie]

'Native American' is erroneous. 'Original invader' or 'primitive settler' would be much more accurate.

How about Bable Wanderers?

[Elsie]

Essentially, it was genetic confirmation of the Adam and Eve story, really.

And the same type of 'science' tells us that the Cheetahs are ENDANGERED because of lack of genetic diversity.

Go figger!

[Elsie]

Essentially, it was genetic confirmation of the Adam and Eve story, really.

Yeah!

That's what I meant; too!

[Elsie]

(Memme try again...)

Verse 4 says...the whole earth.

Yeah!

That's what I meant; too!

Oh I love the dress on the right.....

To me;it looks like the one on the right is wearing black pants.

[Elsie]

That said, I was born in America and I am AMERICAN...I love my country and have fought in SE Asia under my country’s flag. So, to me, Red, Black, Yellow, or White, we are AMERICANS....

Amen, Brother!

[Elsie]

At any rate, I’m glad we’re here and not “there”...

Oh YEAH??

Just wait until 200 days have gone by!

translation: this is about protecting their casino rights.

this is just kenewick man revisited.

[Elsie]

First of all, it seems to support the old Clovis culture theory, of a single founding NA culture, which is now perforated with exceptions, but still embraced for political reasons.

This what happens when we look at the DATA to confirm or reject a theory.

Why can't we just study the DATA to see what IT says??

Post the info if you can and get a chance, thanks.

Looking at the photo head on, to the right side...

Kennewick man is included. His physical type was studied and he was not like Caucasians. There are some similar traits though. Native Americans descend from the same population that also produced Caucasians and Mongoloids.

“if all NA peoples derive from the same ancestry, then they share a unique claim to the Americas.”

I don’t believe that. The only real land claim is all the land you can conquer and hold. Always was, always will be.

[Joya]

Thanks for the article.

Qx ping.

Very true. Morphology is effected by environmental factors.

However, what confuses me is the statement in this report:

“Overall, among the 908 people who were in the 44 groups in which the allele was found, more than one out of three had the variant. ‘

This implies that more than one out of three DIDN’T have the variant!!

Doesn’t that follow?

[LiteKeeper]

His name was Noah.

[Varda]

I don’t have access to the article, only the abstract. I’m guessing that the 908 people with the allele were spread among the all NA groups which means the groups all have the same allele in their genome (even if all individuals don’t have it).

Hey Du, are you going to come here and tell us how flawed this study is?

[Man50D]

I lived and worked for ten years in northern Canada among both Inuit and Native people, and it seems to me the Inuit and the Cree/Athapaskan people looked very different. Their cultures were very different indeed. What do you think?

Also I have read that the Algonkian peoples have a high incidence of the genome X as opposed to other groups in North American.

This is from Oppenheimer.
Interested in your opinion, thanks.

I must be missing something but I don't understand how this is relevant to my statement that I'm as much native American as any Indian since, like them, I was born in America.
