A significant number of Native Americans’ ancient ancestors apparently came to the continent thousands of years ago from the territories that would eventually become part of modern-day China.
Two migrations of Native Americans’ ancestors from “northern coastal China” to the Americas occurred in the distant past, according to the results of a new study published in Cell Reports earlier this week.
The first took place during the last ice age, between 19,500 and 26,000 years ago; while the second took place during the “subsequent melting period” between 19,000 and 11,500 years ago.
