Ghost population hints at long-lost migration to the Americas | Nature
Skoglund s discovery which is published online on 21 July in Nature2 was that members of two Amazonian groups, the Suruí and the Karitiana, are more closely related to Papua New Guineans and Aboriginal Australians than other Native Americans are to these Australasian groups. The team confirmed the finding with several statistical methods used to untangle genetic ancestry, as well as additional genomes from Amazonians and Papuans. We spent a lot of time being sceptical and incredulous about the finding and trying to make it go away, but it just got stronger, says Reich.
