Native American mitochondrial DNA analysis indicates that the Amerind and the Nadene populations were founded by two independent migrations.
Abstract Mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from 167 American Indians including 87 Amerind-
speakers (Amerinds) and 80 Nadene-speakers (Nadene) were surveyed for sequence …
