How does this reconcile with the language evidence seemingly proving separate migrations? Need balm to weigh in here, and any other American Indian ethnographers on FR...

[Carry_Okie]

Without a distribution map of the peoples they sampled, this conclusion is meaningless.

I would be particularly interested to see if they included Argentinians from near Tierra del Fuego.

Virtually without exception the new evidence supports the single ancestral population theory.

First word of the quoted sentence is what assures that this article is just one in an ongoing series of articles on the same subject.

How does this reconcile with the language evidence seemingly proving separate migrations?

Could be explained by multiple migrations originating from the same region/ethnic group, spaced over a few thousand years.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Just on the surface, this seems to have no end of problems associated with it. 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.

That is, if all NA peoples derive from the same ancestry, then they share a unique claim to the Americas. But if they don’t, some have more of a claim than others. This is why there is such intensive efforts to exclude any Caucasian ancients from American history, such as the Kennewick man, including the destruction of the archeological site where he was found.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Pharmboy. The "delirious, kaleidoscopic riot" of native languages in South America (as well as the monotonic Arctic families) is just one reason that these DNA studies continue to have very little "bering" on the origin or chronology of entry. :') precolumbian dna site:freerepublic.com Google To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

There were two other plausible explanations for the widespread distribution of the allele in the Americas.

Indeed!!

Lamanite and Nephite!!

[RichardW]

I’ve always believed they originally came across the land bridge that existed between North America and Asia. What I have never fully understood is why they would have split into so many different tribes especially in the greater United States. Is there anyone with some expertise on that subject?

Of course it does pose a very real problem for the proponents of those who believe that there are descendants of Mediterranean origin who formed these tribes.

this is just kenewick man revisited.

Thanks for the article.

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

.....How does this reconcile with the language evidence seemingly proving separate migrations......

Although the article said the 9 repeat allele had no biological function, it would appear that it did. The function was murderous aggression trait.

All the men were killed and the women enslaved. The previous migration populations were absorbed by warfare and attrition

[pabianice]

Short version: “Native Americans” were the last migration to America. After they arrived, they murdered to extinction the earlier immigrants from Europe, who had arrived thousands of years earlier by following the glacial shore in small boats from what is now Spain to what is now Canada, hunting fish and mammals as they came in small groups in short steps.

How does this reconcile with the language evidence seemingly proving separate migrations?

That's the first thing I thought of as well.

How about separate incursions over thousands of years, from the same source of people ?

[dennisw]

Does this mean Amerindians are more inbred?
