Download or read book Ancient DNA in North America and the Effects of Migration on Prehistoric Populations written by Meradeth Houston Snow and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient DNA analysis of the variation found within Native American populations was carried out to better understand the effects of population migration and demic diffusion on the distribution of mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and haplotypes. The Southwest was utilized to investigate the relationship of prehistoric populations within the Southwest and Mexico. A hypothesized migration into the Southwest of individuals from Mexico, bringing with them maize agriculture and the Uto-Aztecan language family, has been a longstanding hypothesis to explain these similarities between the two regions and, through analysis of the prehistoric occupants of the Southwest, a better understanding of this relationship was sought. Comparison with modern DNA revealed a direct link between past occupants of the Southwest and current populations in the region, however, and no direct link with Mexico was found. Chapter 1 represents the results from analysis of seventy-three individuals from the Tommy and Mine Canyon sites, located near Farmington, New Mexico. The results of my study of aDNA from these Pueblo II and Pueblo III sites, respectively, demonstrated that the haplogroup pattern currently seen in the Southwest was maintained at the Tommy Site, while the Mine Canyon Site was significantly different. However, the haplotype sequences from the Mine Canyon samples exhibited two derived mutations that are also found among the modern Zuni, and ancient Californian Chumash (Monroe, 2010). The possibility of migration both within the Southwest, and from Mexico, was addressed. Chapter 2 addresses the relationship of the aDNA results with the discrete dental traits analyzed by Kathy Durand in relation to intraregional migrations in the Southwest. Specifically, the timing of the proposed southward migration from the Mesa Verde region, as well as the proposal that groups moved into the Middle San Juan Region (where the Tommy and Mine Canyon sites are located) early in the twelfth century, were discussed. Chapter 3 turns to the Mimbres population during the Classic period (1000-1130AD), and their relationship to the Southwest as a whole, as well as to modern populations in the Southwest and Mexico. The Mimbres, while culturally distinct in the Mogollon region, are genetically similar to the rest of the Southwest in terms of its haplogroup frequencies, and shares haplotypes with the Ancestral Pueblo populations to the north. Chapter 4 presents the results from analysis of sixty-three samples from the late-prehistoric Arikara population of South Dakota. We found that they shared highly derived lineages with Algonquian and Siouan speaking groups and ancient lineages with Siouan and Cherokee populations, which is in keeping with the Macro-Siouan language hypothesis, which states that the Iroquois, Sioux, and Caddoan languages share a recent common ancestry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a study of the migration of cultures from Asia to North America from the earliest period of recorded history. Evidence is presented of a connection between the North American Athabaskan language family and Siberia, together with comparisons and examinations of the implications of linguistics from anthropological, archaeological and folklore perspectives. An exploration of the origins of the earliest people in the Americas, this book covers topics including Siberian, Dene and Navajo Creation myths; linguistic comparisons between Siberian Ket Navajo and Western Apache; and comparisons between indigenous groups that appear to share the same origin.

Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From celebrated anthropologist Jennifer Raff comes the untold story—and fascinating mystery—of how humans migrated to the Americas. ORIGIN is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes. ORIGIN provides an overview of these new histories throughout North and South America, and a glimpse into how the tools of genetics reveal details about human history and evolution. 20,000 years ago, people crossed a great land bridge from Siberia into Western Alaska and then dispersed southward into what is now called the Americas. Until we venture out to other worlds, this remains the last time our species has populated an entirely new place, and this event has been a subject of deep fascination and controversy. No written records—and scant archaeological evidence—exist to tell us what happened or how it took place. Many different models have been proposed to explain how the Americas were peopled and what happened in the thousands of years that followed. A study of both past and present, ORIGIN explores how genetics is currently being used to construct narratives that profoundly impact Indigenous peoples of the Americas. It serves as a primer for anyone interested in how genetics has become entangled with identity in the way that society addresses the question "Who is indigenous?"

Download or read book Cherokee DNA Studies II written by Donald N. Yates and published by Panther`s Lodge Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phase III of DNA Consultants' Cherokee DNA Studies adds more than fifty new participants to what has become a classic project. They'd all been told there was no way they could be Indian given their DNA haplotype or mother's direct line. This book underlines the unavoidable conclusion that most "Indian" lineages in Eastern North America originally came across the Atlantic Ocean, not over any land-bridge from Asia. Update your priors with this sweeping attack on "big box" companies and know-it-all experts. Includes historical Cherokee photographs, genealogies, graphs, charts, references, index and raw data.
Download or read book Old World Roots of the Cherokee written by Donald N. Yates and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most histories of the Cherokee nation focus on its encounters with Europeans, its conflicts with the U. S. government, and its expulsion from its lands during the Trail of Tears. This work, however, traces the origins of the Cherokee people to the third century B.C.E. and follows their migrations through the Americas to their homeland in the lower Appalachian Mountains. Using a combination of DNA analysis, historical research, and classical philology, it uncovers the Jewish and Eastern Mediterranean ancestry of the Cherokee and reveals that they originally spoke Greek before adopting the Iroquoian language of their Haudenosaunee allies while the two nations dwelt together in the Ohio Valley.
