AEU SCI Q 1 A51 mtDNA indicate colonization
of
Siberia and Americas was more complex than hitherto supposed.
mtDNA
follow female lineage with minimal ambiguity. Analysis show that
majority of North American haplotypes belong to four mtDNA
groups,
and show similarity of presumed source populations in Asia and
Siberia. All four groups found throughout Americas, suggesting
all
present in original migrations. Comparison with Asian/Siberian
data, suggest at least two distinct migration centres (Lake
Baikal
area and East Asia - Amur River region). Also shows a degree of
genetic distinctiveness in different North American groups,
suggesting isolation and founder effects led to distinctiveness
that has been maintained over lengthy interval. Using the DNA
"clock," results suggest antiquity of North American lineages
around 47,000 - 23,000 years, considerably older than post-last
glaciation. Another haplogroup (X) has similarities to European
group X. Thought originally to be from recent admixture but may
be
much older (from migration into Asia). Also some North American
groups show admixture of African haplogroups, through admixture
in
historic times.
