Rare DNA Found in Native Americans Just Changed Human History

WooGlobe

A mysterious DNA marker is rewriting everything we thought we knew about how humans first reached the Americas. Haplogroup X, a rare maternal lineage found in both Europe and among Native American tribes, has baffled scientists for decades. Its absence in Siberia and Alaska challenges the long-held belief that all migration came across the Bering Land Bridge. Could early humans have taken a different path? Maybe even arrived in multiple waves?  This discovery doesn’t confirm wild theories—but it does reveal just how complex our human journey really was.

00:00What if everything we thought we knew about the first Americans was wrong?

00:04Scientists have just uncovered a genetic twist in the story of how humans reach the Americas.

00:09It's all thanks to a rare DNA marker, Haplogroup X.

00:13This maternal lineage is found in both Europe and North America,

00:16but mysteriously not in Siberia or Alaska, where the first migrants supposedly crossed.

00:22So how did it get here?

00:23Unlike other common haplogroups linked to Native American ancestry,

00:27Haplogroup X doesn't fit the usual path across the Bering land bridge.

00:31Its unique branch, X2A, is found among tribes like the Ojibwe, Sioux, and Navajo,

00:37but it's absent in the supposed entry route from Asia.

00:40Some once claimed it proved ancient Europeans crossed the Atlantic,

00:44but that theory's been debunked.

00:46Instead, scientists now believe early migrations were far more complex.

00:51Multiple waves, different routes,

00:53maybe even early coastal explorers carrying rare DNA like X2A.

00:58It's not proof of ancient Europe in America,

01:01but it's a clue that reshapes how we trace our roots.

01:04In the end, Haplogroup X doesn't solve the mystery.

01:07It deepens it, and reminds us that human history is anything but simple.

01:12How can we get here?

01:13It's quite simple.

01:14How can we get here?

01:15How can we get here?

01:16How can we create an online, Worldwide,

01:18As a result,

01:21even more information to us,

01:23we'll be able to see in an online situation that might get better.

01:24We'll be able to find the way we can use it.

01:25If we were to learn a little more lively,

01:26we'll see a little later on the outside at the outside,

01:27we'll be able to do it.

01:28We'll see that as well.

01:29Fill up your hand at the back door.

01:30Let's see it.

01:31In the back door,

01:32the remaining space and a little more complexity

01:33we can do it.

01:34These are all the way around the world,

01:36have lost and the area of the world.

01:37If we're being able to find a sign,

01:38to feel the same way to his right,
