The Na-Dene, Inuit, and Native Alaskan populations exhibit haplogroup Q (Y-DNA) mutations, but are distinct from other Indigenous Americans with various mtDNA and autosomal DNA (atDNA) mutations. [ 14 ] [ 50 ] [ 51 ] This suggests that the earliest migrants into the northern extremes of North America and Greenland derived from later migrant ...
A 2014 genetic analysis published in the journal Nature reported that the DNA from a 24,000-year-old skeleton excavated in Eastern Siberia provided mitochondrial, Y chromosomal, and autosomal genetic evidence that suggests 14 to 38% of Native American ancestry originates from an ancient Western Eurasian population.
Results from the team's genetic analysis were published in January 2018 in the scientific journal Nature. The analysis compared the infant's genomes with both ancient and contemporary genomes. The results suggested that the pre-"Ancestral Native American" lineage derived from the East Asian lineage after 36 kya, with gene flow until about 25 kya.
The relationship between genetics and the Book of Mormon is based on implicit claims in the Book of Mormon about the ancestry of indigenous American peoples, which can be evaluated through genetic research. Specifically, the Book of Mormon claims (or strongly implies) that the ancestors of some or all Native Americans were Israelites.
Jennifer Anne Raff (born 1979, née Kedzie) is an American geneticist and an associate professor of Anthropology at the University of Kansas.She specializes in anthropological genetics relating to the initial peopling of the Americas and subsequent prehistory of Indigenous populations throughout North America.
DNA analysis of a 8,500-year-old skeleton has provided a new twist in a long running dispute over which population it belongs to. The skeleton — dubbed the Kennewick Man or the Ancient One ...

Native Americans are very closely related to the Paleosiberian tribes of Siberia, and to the ancient samples of the Mal'ta–Buret' culture (Ancient North Eurasians) as well as to the Ancient Beringians. Native Americans also share a relatively higher genetic affinity with East Asian peoples. Native American genetic ancestry is occasionally ...
