[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Lioness, seriously are you playing dumb or did you not read the article?! From the [URL=https://www.jonnesgenealogy.com/the-mystery-of-population-y/]article[/URL]: [i] However, in 2015, two studies quite independently discovered that certain tribes deep in the Amazon jungle [b]shared a genetic affinity to Australasians.[/b] (The ancestry of these tribe members remains primarily Native American; it is only a small portion of their DNA that links them to Australasians.) [b]Australasians is the term used to describe Aborigines, Papua New Guineans, Andaman Islanders, Mamanwa Negritos, and other groups in the Philippines.[/b] The Andaman Islands were recently in the news because an American missionary, John Chau, was killed when he attempted to make illegal contact with natives on North Sentinel Island in November 2018.[/i] ^ You can clearly see they are referring to [b]Australasians[/b] in general and NOT Australian Aborigines only. More from the article: [i] [b]The connection is not linear – that is, the Brazilian tribes in question are not directly descended from Australian Aborigines, nor are Aborigines descended from them.[/b] Instead, today’s Australasians and some members of these three Brazilian tribes today are very distant cousins who are likely descended from a common population, and it is that hypothesized common population which has been dubbed Population Y. As Pontus Skoglund who worked with Professor Reich points out, Population Y is “an unknown group that doesn’t exist anymore.”[4] [b]The theory is that Population Y would have existed somewhere in East Asia, time frame unclear, and then split – one group went south and one north, with the northern group eventually making its way across the Bering Strait and into the Americas.[/b][/i] Which means not all Australasians carry Population Y signature, only some of them due to admixture just like the ancestors of Native Americans.
