Washington, April 30 : In a new research, an international team of scientists has determined that the Native Americans, who came to the New World, descended from a single ancestral group.
"Our work provides strong evidence that, in general, Native Americans are more closely related to each other than to any other existing Asian populations, except those that live at the very edge of the Bering Strait," said Kari Britt Schroeder, a lecturer at the University of California, Davis, and the first author on the paper describing the study.
