DNA tracks ancient Alaskan's descendants

advertisement

Examining mitochondrial DNA obtained from cheek swabs taken from Alaskan natives reveals that none were related to the 10,000-year-old Alaskan found on Prince of Wales Island -- but they were related to coastal Indians in British Coumbia. However, the Prince of Wales caveman does appear to be related to peoples like the Chumash, the Cayapa of Ecuador and the Yaghan of Tierra del Fuego.
