Some ancient South American individuals whose DNA was analyzed were genetically linked to people of the Clovis culture.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by peer-reviewed Cell study (Reich et al. 2018) and corroborated by Max Planck Institute, HHMI, and EurekAlert coverage. Multiple independent, high-quality sources agree on the genetic link between Clovis-associated North American individuals and ancient South/Central American samples.
