The genome demonstrated that Anzick-1 was genetically related to living Indigenous Americans more closely than to any other living population.

This is a meaningful and important finding.

It confirms the deep ancestry of Native American peoples in the Americas and demonstrates that the people who made Clovis technology were not a separate, extinct population unrelated to those who followed them.

What the genome did not demonstrate: that any specific living Native American individual or community is a direct lineal descendant of Anzick-1 himself.

Population genetics works with statistical patterns across large groups, not with genealogical documentation of specific family relationships.
