2 Sioux Women's DNA Results

[Peterski]

I just sent Andrei a Choctaw sample for another video!

I have a feeling that they will have pretty different results than the Sioux.

An ANE ranking with all available Amerind groups would be noice

After Clovis and Spirit Cave-like Indians ate all of the megafauna their population declined a lot and that's when Beringians migrated south from Alaska and assimilated remnants of the Spirit Cave-like population.

That was around 10,000 years ago when that 2nd wave migrated south.

Agreed, I’d love to see that.

I also wanted to mention a video I saw recently:



It’s about the native Patagonians in southern Argentina and Chile. The YouTuber usually focuses on indigenous groups further north, including those in Siberia and Alaska, but in this video, he points out how rarely the Indigenous peoples of the far south are discussed. Sadly, much of that is due to the fact that they were essentially wiped out in acts of genocide. Although their genetics live on one way or another.

These native groups were remarkably resilient, living in extremely harsh, cold climates (not nearly as intense as far north america though). They are believed to be almost entirely descended from the first peoples to arrive in the Americas. The YouTuber highlights how unique their history is and says they really deserve a show of their own.
