The Genomic History of the Americas (study)

The genomic history of the Americas involves studying the DNA of Indigenous peoples to understand their ancient origins, migration patterns, and interactions over thousands of years. By analyzing genetic markers, researchers trace how early populations migrated from Asia across Beringia into the Americas, diversified, and adapted to various environments. This research reveals complex relationships among different groups, influences of multiple migration events, and the impact of European contact. Overall, it provides a scientific narrative of the genetic diversity and deep history of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, enriching our understanding of human migration and adaptation.
