Comment on Ancient Chesapeake site challenges timeline of humans in the Americas

Comments

There is an elephant in the room in my opinion on the matter of a migration to N. America across the atlantic, however I have not read a definitive evaluation of this piece of evidence.

There exists, mostly in the northern tribes (Ojibwa 27%, Sioux 15%) mtDNA of the X type. As I understand it the other highest group in the world is the Druze population in the Levant. (27%) What it all means is above my pay grade.
