>>2651229I'm busy, but I rounded up related sources on the origins of amerindians. You usually have to have accounts in multiple research journals and have hours of time to scan the studies that get filtered. Some studies will also entirely exclude alternate haplogroups in the Americas, one such one I haven't been able to get my hands on was Shimada et al 2004 in which north Peruvian coast Amerindians had 22% of their mtDNA listed in the haplogroup category of "others", ie not A B C or D. A study based on that study got results of H, T and mideast/caucasus X haplogroups and excluded those results on purpose, because it was "impossible" for old world DNA to show up in recent pre-Hispanic south and north America. The article I had which specifically mentioned "r1a" is lost somewhere in thousands of bookmarks. If I find it while the thread is still up I'll post it. Everything is always more complex than it seems.
