Evidence for the persistence of ancient Beothuk and Maritime Archaic mitochondrial DNA genome lineages among modern Native American peoples
The Beothuk were a Native American people who formerly occupied the island of Newfoundland, and who are generally accepted to have become culturally extinct in 1829. The Beothuk succeeded the Maritime Archaic people on the island after a hiatus of ca. 1.4 ka, and were themselves succeeded by the ext...

The Beothuk were a Native American people who formerly occupied the island of Newfoundland, and who are generally accepted to have become culturally extinct in 1829. The Beothuk succeeded the Maritime Archaic people on the island after a hiatus of ca. 1.4 ka, and were themselves succeeded by the extant Mi’kmaq within historic times. Genetic continuity between ancient and modern Native Americans remains of interest. Complete aDNA mitogenomes from ancient Beothuk and Maritime Archaic were compared with the most closely related modern mitogenomes as obtained by BLAST search of GenBank. Beothuk mitogenomes in five clades are in one case identical to and otherwise differ by minima of three to eight SNPs from the most closely related modern mitogenomes. Maritime Archaic mitogenomes in 12 clades are in one case identical to and otherwise differ by minima of one to nine SNPs from the most similar modern mitogenomes. The single available modern Mi’kmaq mitogenome differs from the most similar Beothuk and Maritime Archaic mitogenomes by 12 and 22 SNPs, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence similarities imply lineage extinction of most ancient clades, as well as continuity of two Beothuk and at least one Maritime Archaic lineages in modern Native Americans and their descendants. |
