Prehistoric Chinese migration to the Americas confirmed by DNA study.
A genetics study from Kunming Institute of Zoology has found evidence of human migrations from China to the Americas and Japan during the Ice Age, challenging the previously held belief that ancient Siberians were the sole ancestors of Native Americans. The study involved examining 100,000 modern and 15,000 ancient DNA samples from across Eurasia over the course of 10 years. The findings indicated two distinct migration events, with seafaring travelers reaching the Americas and traveling along the Pacific coast by boat during both migrations.
