“If you look at the genomes of modern Native American people, South American native people and Canadian First Nations people, there’s a chunk of that genome that looks European – or is European,” said Zazula. “It’s often thought that was a result of modern mixing of populations” in relatively recent times, he said, but the new study suggests a significant portion of the genetic heritage of the New World’s first inhabitants was “ancestrally coming from the Ice Age in Western Europe.”
