American Indian prehistory as written in the mitochondrial DNA: a review.

Human biology - 1 Jun 1992

Wallace D C, Torroni A

Abstract excerpt

Native Americans have been divided into three linguistic groups: the reasonably well-defined Eskaleut and Nadene of northern North America and the highly heterogeneous Amerind of North, Central, and South America. The heterogeneity of the Amerinds has been proposed to be the result of either multiple independent migrations or a single ancient migration with extensive in situ radiation. To investigate the origin...
