When all tribes were One

This DNA discovery redefined Native American history. Human DNA was discovered in the 1860s, marking a significant milestone in our understanding of human life.

Since then, scientists have made numerous discoveries that shed light on early human history. In 2018, a notable breakthrough occurred when a team of scientists unearthed the skeletons of two Native American infants.

This discovery yielded unexpected information and valuable insights that extended beyond their initial expectations.

• All groups split off from One. In the study, archaeologists hypothesized that the two groups stuck together at least once -- explaining why the girls were related. They proposed two possibilities for this. The Beringians might have split before crossing the land bridge only to reunite later. Or the Beringians separated after crossing. Potter prefers the latter theory.

The discovery of two infant skeletons

What secrets are encoded in alleles?

In 2018, archeologists unearthed the skeletons of two Native American infants. Remarkably, these skeletons were approximately 11,500 years old and belonged to individuals from the same family.

• [Maybe we are being misled about the discovery of archaic bodies, which might be nowhere near as old as we are told. How else to explain the discovery of dinosaurs or megafauna with fresh genetic material to extract from bones?]

The exceptional preservation of these remains  provided scientists with valuable insights into early human history, offering crucial information about the earliest human inhabitants of North America and their migratory patterns. More
