The Cherokee, Chippewa and Iroquois have the same set of x-factor gene sequences that the Sa'ami and Berbers do.

So at least we have some reason to believe the Chippewa, Iroquois and Cherokee may be descended from the "originals".

We can trace back the Na Dene (Navajo, Apache, Aztec) to the very same Yakuts who provided the ancestry to the Japanese royal house and the Daimyo (these are the non-Jomon invaders from the mid 6th century).

More recent work ties the Yakuts, also known as the Sakha, to the tribe by the same name that conquered much of India around 300 BC (from Nepal). Buddha was a Sakha.

Because we now have DNA analysis available, and super computers to assist in translating ancient documents, we know tremendous amount of information about the Yakuts we didn't know just 2 years ago.

Thanks, I’m bookmarking this very interesting thread. Now to find a good book on Bluefish Caves.

Sorry. By “Originals” I meant the very first wave of people to the Americas.

Don’t most indig tribes in the Americas have story/legend/myth about peoples that were here before them? If they do, some of that could be from conquest and replacement by members of the same colonization wave that had separated long enough prior that they didn’t know the common source, but some of it also could be conquest and replacement of totally different sourced peoples.

Berbers were Solutreans ?
