The people in the New World, like the Mexicans, are blended with the Europeans.

What DNA tells us about Europe's first settlers

Who are these strange 'Europeans'?
Our ability to learn more about our ancient ancestors has never been better. Thanks to advances in genetic technology, scientists working with archeologists can date remains with greater accuracy than ever before.

"Paleo-genetics" makes it possible to study the sequence of an entire genome of people who lived tens of millennia ago. As a result, an explosion of new information has become available, which promises to transform our understanding of the past, as new discoveries are literally unearthed.

For instance, did you know that Europeans are the descendants of three distinct migrations of people from elsewhere in the world:
  1. Vegetarian Trypillia mega site, largest and first
    European cities (Susanne Beyer/Kiel University)
    Africa,
  2. the Middle East (Turkey, Anatolia), and
  3. the Steppes (southern Russia/eastern Ukraine). [The Stans, North and Central Asia?]

Remember that time Europeans conquered and latinized the Americas to extract profit?
