As some of you know many male Native Americans in North America (especially among the Algonquin and Na-Dane speakers) have Y-Haplotype R1b. The question that has befuddled some people is whether the Y-Haplotype R1b found in high concentrations in certain North American indigenous tribes is from post-Columbian settlers from western Europe or from an ancient Eurasian population that crossed over to the Americas through the Bering Bridge.

Where do you think the Y-Haplotype R1b came from found among many contemporary North American indigenous males?

I’ve tried looking into this before but never came away satisfied with much. Maybe some expert can answer the both of us.
