PY - 2011 DA - 2011/10/07 TI - Large scale mitochondrial sequencing in Mexican Americans suggests a reappraisal of Native American origins JO - BMC Evolutionary Biology SP - 293 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - The Asian origin of Native Americans is largely accepted. However uncertainties persist regarding the source population(s) within Asia, the divergence and arrival time(s) of the founder groups, the number of expansion events, and migration routes into the New World. mtDNA data, presented over the past two decades, have been used to suggest a single-migration model for which the Beringian land mass plays an important role.
