Even the 'natives' here had DNA from all over.

Also, DNA can be corrupted, the conclusion from a limited sample cannot be extrapolated to an entire continent.

The US Government exterminated entire races and tribes, there is no know trace of them existent today, so the DNA record is incomplete at best.

In short, the findings are laughable and frankly, stupid.

Agreed!

This is a ridiculous article BECAUSE Native Americans are NOT a monolithic group!  WHICH nation(s) are being referred to?

Dr. Cyclone Covey of Wake Forrest University devoted his entire professional life to researching NAs and their origins.  His conclusion?  They came here from ALL OVER THE WORLD, including Europe.  Some came from Scotland and had fair skin and red hair (and spoke a version of Gaelic).  Others came across the Bering Strait.  The majority of them are, of course of Asian descent.  They came mostly by BOAT, riding the current over here.  The book [u]Secret Maps of the Ancient World[/u] documents this well.

The Sioux were at war with another nation back in China, and once here they just picked up the fighting where they had left off!

Hopi came here from Tibet.

Cherokee were HEBREWS.  Yes, that's right!  There are many Cherokees who still speak Hebrew and have family oral traditions that they were Hebrews.  Cuneiform of Hebrew NAs have also been discovered that chronicles their journey over here.

The BIG NOSES of the Cherokee are similar to that of the IROQUOIS, their COUSINS.  They also both look like Jews.

Original Message Tiny region in central Russia has DNA link to native Americans today
Ancestors thought to have walked across ice 13,000 years ago
Altai is 'key place', because central location means ancient peoples passed through

Altai in southern Siberia sits right at the centre of Russia. But the tiny, mountainous republic has a claim to fame unknown until now - Native Americans can trace their origins to the remote region.

DNA research revealed that genetic markers linking people living in the Russian republic of Altai, southern Siberia, with indigenous populations in North America.

A study of the mutations indicated a lineage shift between 13,000 and 14,000 years ago - when people are thought to have walked across the ice from Russia to America.

Altai in Siberia: A study of genetic markers in DNA showed that the lineage of Native Americans changed around 13-14,000 years ago - when people are thought to have walked across the Bering Strait

This roughly coincides with the period when humans from Siberia are thought to have crossed what is now the Bering strait and entered America.

'Altai is a key area because it's a place where people have been coming and going for thousands and thousands of years,' said Dr Theodore Schurr, from the University of Pennsylvania in the US.

Among the people who may have emerged from the Altai region are the predecessors of the first Native Americans.
