Ancient Infant Was Ancestor of Today's Native Americans
Michael Balter
Researchers sequenced the complete nuclear genome of an infant found on
land owned by the Anzick family back in 1968. The so-called Anzick
child, represented by a skull and a few other bones, was closely
associated with sophisticated tools from the Clovis culture, thought to
be the first well-established presence of the earliest Americans. The
genome is especially closely related to that of today's native
populations from Central and South America, establishing a direct link
between ancient Paleoindians and Native Americans.
