The Origins of Native Americans Revealed in Ancient Siberian Genome
DNA studies show that a Lost Siberian People Were the Ancestors of Native Americans. Genetic analysis of ancient Baby teeth and bones suggests Native Americans largely descend from a vanished group called the Ancient Paleo-Siberians. The DNA they contained is the oldest human genetic material yet retrieved from northern Siberia. Most of their ancestry can be traced back to the early migration out of Africa — in particular, to a mysterious people who would eventually spread into Europe, who also vanished. A skeleton in Siberia, nearly 10,000 years old, yielded DNA that reveals a striking kinship to living Native Americans, The finding provides an important new clue to the migrations that first brought people to the Americas.
