Well, back in 1999 they said his DNA was "D". But they attributed that finding to contamination.
So if he has a different haplogroup that will be proven true.
Freckles are likely to be a protective response of skin to the sun’s harmful rays.
In fact, tanning may be the same response, since it has been shown that repeated/excessive tanning results in skin damage. Skin damage caused by excessive tanning likely is the result of exceeding the...
That's a misconception, many tribes have been tested
For the US alone, I could list maybe 15-20 studies. Here are a few, so you can see the number of tribes that were tested in these studies.
Lorenz and Smith (1996) - Washo (38), Yokut (17), Havasupai (18), Quechan (23), Kumeyaay (16), Hopi...
That's because I'm female, and I use my mtDNA to track the geographical distribution of my tribe/linguistic group.
I started a mtDNA database to see if I could track tribal relationships (in the Americas). But, very few studies break down the haplogroups into subclade and, for much of the...
The diagram, is not all inclusive
1. The East Asian populations absorbed remnants or the ANE/Native American populations as they re-colonized the northern areas.
2. There was gene flow from the Americas into the re-colonizing populations.
So, Native Americans did not descend...
Native Americans have NO European genetic connection. On the other hand European have a genetic connection to a Siberian/East Asian population that had genes that are only found in Native Americans today.
The Mal’ta boy’s had “autosomal DNA” markers which are only found in Native...
This description is in the reports. (I can’t link to anything); but if you Google the articles you will eventually fine the articles that give that description.
Figure 2: Admixture graph for MA-1 and 16 complete genomes, places the the Mal’ta boy between the Mari and Indian (India)...
R1b in Europe
R1b-S21 => 3,000 years ago (in Frisia or Central Europe)
R1b-S28 => 3,500 years ago (around the Alps)
R1b-L21 => 4,000 years ago (in Central or Eastern Europe)
R1b1b2 => 10,000 years ago (north or south of the Caucasus)
R1a => 17,000 years ago (in southern Russia)...
The problem with this theory is: R1 has only been in Europe for about 5-6000 years, which does not coincide with the Solutrean period, so if there was a migration from Europe it was not the Solutrean.
Secondly, there is no scientific evidence of pre-colonization R1 in the Americas...
Origin and Post-Glacial Dispersal of Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroups C and D in Northern Asia
Excerpt: The present-day variation of haplogroups C and D suggests that these mtDNA clades expanded before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with their oldest lineages being present in eastern Asia.
The...
It seems we’re NOT talking about the same thing.
Because your reference was to Y-DNA; I mistakenly thought you were pointing out
1. "mtDNA X" was predominate in the Algonquin
2. “Y-DNA C” was predominate among the Cherokee
3. that combination only found in North America...
The oral history of the Ojibwe/Chippewa state they migrated from the east coast. The Lenape who are called the “Old Ones” or “Grandfathers” in several Algonquin languages are thought to be the ancestral population. At contact the Lenape inhabited the area just south of the Míkmaq.
There is no...
