Yet another group ended up in Southern Chile at a very early time, and the folks living at the tip of Baja California until a couple of centuries ago were clearly the same as aboriginal Australians!

That means that the first out-of-Africa humans made it to the New World. It is my understanding that the Australian Aborigenes are the tail end of that trek, having left a genetic track across South Asia, with the VERY dark Dravidians showing evidence of these genes (as well as the Andaman Islanders). The small populations of Negritos scattered in pockets throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean are also a remnant as I understand. What is a good laymans source for this genetic research? I have always been very interested in this subject.

Since there are always newer studies what you need to do is regular searches for FIRST and AMERICAN (for a start).

I subscribe to Science News, and that really helps you keep ahead of this stuff.
