    Default Native Americans and Northern Europeans more closely related than previously thought

    Using genetic analyses, scientists have discovered that Northern European populations—including British, Scandinavians, French, and some Eastern Europeans—descend from a mixture of two very different ancestral populations, and one of these populations is related to Native Americans. This discovery helps fill gaps in scientific understanding of both Native American and Northern European ancestry, while providing an explanation for some genetic similarities among what would otherwise seem to be very divergent groups. This research was published in the November 2012 issue of the Genetics Society of America's journal Genetics.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to think Native Americans have a Northern/Eastern European type component to their genes, like other Central Asian type people do?

    The study have found Native American/Northeast Eurasian like influence in North Europeans, that some Native Americans have recent European admixture is not a factor in the findings.

    No, they are not talking about recent European admixture in native Americans but about a shared ancestry between them and Europeans which dates to pre-history. Something like, that the ancient inhabitants of northern Eurasia who later colonized America left some of their DNA in Europe

    Or, maybe it is that Europeans have some Siberian admixture in them. Who knows? Some Europeans look very mongoloid, indeed, and I am not thinking in Russians but in Germans and Brits.

    Might be linked with Y-DNA haplogroup Q?


    Q1a3 is roughly 4% in South Norway and Sweden.

    Don't get us mixed up in this argument! We have nothing to do with this, leave us out of it!

    Probably, but it could also be haplogroup P from which both R and Q derived. Did they find how old is this shared ancestry?

    I have long believed and it has been put up before that like people from greenland, Native Americans are distant relatives of siberians and maybe even russians.
