▪ Abstract A number of important insights into the peopling of the New World have been
gained through molecular genetic studies of Siberian and Native American populations …

Who are the Native Americans? When and how did they colonize the New World? What

INTRODUCTION The consensus view on the peopling of the Americas is that ancestors of
modern Native Americans entered the Americas from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge …

The Americas, the last continents to be entered by modern humans, were colonized during
the late Pleistocene via a land bridge across what is now the Bering strait. However, the …

Whole-genome studies have documented that most Native American ancestry stems from a
single population that diversified within the continent more than twelve thousand years ago …

A substantial amount of archaeological data suggests groups with markedly different lithic
technologies and subsistence adaptations were widespread throughout both American …

Modern humans reached Southeast Asia and Oceania in one of the first dispersals out of
Africa. The resulting temporal overlap of modern and archaic humans—and the apparent …

It has been proposed that all native American mitochondrial DNA variation in the New World
can be attributed to divergence from four “founding lineages” which entered the New World …

The Austronesian expansion into Island Southeast Asia and the Pacific was the last and
most far-reaching prehistoric human migration. Austronesian languages replaced …

The founding of New World populations by Asian peoples is the focus of considerable
