DNA evidence says first Americans came from Asia

  • Even though it was already known, more proof is good.

  • I'm a little confused why this is posted? I thought this has been common knowledge for a long time.

    This isn't a news story, just a kind of encyclopedia (?) entry, and it should have a (2024) at least, because of the "Last updated June 2024" at bottom.

  • No surprise here.

    Look, for example, at this clip of traditional Siberian music.

    or this one

    The similarity to North American Indian cultures is still striking, 13 thousand years later.

    (And I like the way the singer just overflows with musical energy, too...)

  • If you look at videos of Yakut+other siberian/steppe people their cultural clothing looks pretty similar to what (native) Americans have. I think thats pretty neat.

  • Difficult to read excerpts from a few different articles that mostly but not completely agree

  • >Migration Patterns Deduced from Blood Types and North America and Siberian Languages

    The title will be more accurate if include languages as well.

  • also "The population history of northeastern Siberia since the Pleistocene"

  • Who did not come from Asia, is my question.

  • Not surprising since Dios de la muerte is very reminiscent of ancestor worship through out Asia down to the ritualist food offerings at the cemetery.

  • So America is actually Russia?

  • First Americans?

  • I mean where else would they have come from

  • It is my understanding that they've always been understood to be descendants of the Siberians.
