So the ancestors of the Hopi came here only 5000 years ago ?

Ignore earlier reference. I was thinking Hopi is related to Aztec and it, in turn, is a Na-Dene language. Doing a little research turns out they are classifying Aztec as Amerind, and that's from an earlier settlement period ~ post Younger Dryas, but before that of the Na-Dene of 6,000 or so years back (believed to have come in boats).

Just noticed Chipewa (25% X-factor ancestry ~ demonstrating close relationship to North African Berbers and European Sa'ami) language is now attributed to Amerind rather than to Na-Dene or as an isolate.

I'm not surprised these guys are concluding the destruction of the Clovis culture ~ has to be some explanation for why so many people in so many places across the continent quit making Clovis and started making other things simultaneously.
