The 13,000-Year-Old Child Found In Montana – And What His DNA Revealed About The First Americans
No European genetic signature.
No evidence of any founding population outside the broad Beringian-Asian migration route.
The first Americans, as represented by the oldest genome from a confirmed Clovis burial context, were the ancestors — in the biological sense — of the peoples who have called the Americas home ever since.
That finding mattered in science.
And it mattered well beyond science.
Beringia And The Question Of When
One of the central questions that the Anzick findings touched without fully resolving is the timing of the initial migration of people from northeastern Asia into North America — a migration that ancestral to virtually all Native Americans and that must have occurred before Anzick-1’s people were present in Montana.
