Listeros,
The 10,300 year old fossil of "On Your Knees Man" found on Prince of
Wales Island off of Kethcikan, Alaska has been DNA tested. It appears
he has no relatives from the existing populations of Alaska. 200
Native Alaskans had their DNA swabbed to make comparisons with the
ancient fossil. The fossil was found in 1996 along with some ancient
tools. He died in his mid-twenties and ate mostly fish and the stone
tools suggest he came from a long distance away. He had a D mutation
which appeared for the first time in Asia 50,000 years ago and his sub-
group appeared 20,000 years ago. Some of his genetic relatives live in
Southern California, Ecuador and in Tierra del Fuego. They all live
along the coast.
And this lends more credence to the concept that the Americas were
first populated by canoe-going people from Asia.
