WVK Posted June 7 #1 Share Posted June 7 Some of the first humans to arrive in the Americas included people from what is now China, who arrived in two distinct migrations during and after the last ice age, a new genetics study has found. “Our findings indicate that besides the previously indicated ancestral sources of Native Americans in Siberia, the northern coastal China also served as a genetic reservoir contributing to the gene pool,” said Yu-Chun Li, one of the report authors. Li added that during the second migration, the same lineage of people settled in Japan, which could help explain similarities in prehistoric arrowheads and spears found in the Americas, China and Japan. It was once believed that ancient Siberians who crossed over a land bridge that existed in the Bering Strait linking modern Russia and Alaska were the sole ancestors of Native Americans. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/may/09/prehistoric-migrations-china-americas 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
