The Peopling of the Americas as Revealed by Molecular Genetic Studies
Abstract Molecular genetic studies of Siberian and Native American populations indicate that ancestral Native Americans originated in south‐central Siberia and entered the New World between 20 000 and 15 000 years before present (ybp), after thousands of years of isolation in Beringia. These early i...
