Scientists studying the genetic signatures of Siberians and
American Indians have found evidence that the first human migrations
to the New World from Siberia probably occurred no earlier than
18,000 years ago. The new estimate undermines earlier estimates that
colonization occurred as far back as 30,000 years ago but reinforces
archaeological findings and a linguistic theory that most American
languages belong to a single family called Amerind.
The genetic evidence fits neatly, for example, with the discovery
of a human campsite in Chile, which is apparently 15,000 years old,
and with the well-established presence of big-game hunters in North
