(National Geographic) Is This Russian Landscape the Birthplace of Native Americans?
"In the case of the Altay people, the scientists found a mutation in one paternal lineage that arose about 18,000 years ago—a genetic marker that's also found in modern-day Native Americans.
The finding dovetails with previous studies, including some by Schurr, that found a shared mutation in the two groups' mtDNA, one that arose around the same time as the newfound Y chromosome mutation."

" "I would broaden [that] to say [it's] that general region of central East Asia," said Mulligan, of the University of Florida in Gainesville.
"That's because the mitochondrial and Y chromosome mutations that Schurr identified are also found together elsewhere in Asia, for instance, in China and Mongolia, she said."

that there has been no evolution. Also, the world wasn't here 18000 years ago. God put the Native Americans here to give the missionaries people to forcibly convert.
(Do I have to add the 
for the above?)
I hate all that young earth non-science stuff. I'm sure that back in their churches the preachers would tell the 'faithful' that articles like this are just attempts by the devil to lead them astray. It scares me that these 'christian taliban' types manage to get so much say and could someday inflict their crazy on the children of our country.
