Published Study (April 3, 2024): "Modern Blackfoot people descend from an ancient ice age lineage"4/4/2024
Alex, B. (2024, April 3). "Modern Blackfoot people descend from an ancient ice age lineage: A new study of historic and modern genomes may help tribes protect ancestral lands and water rights." Science. https://www.science.org/content/article/modern-blackfoot-people-descend-ancient-ice-age-lineage Link to original, Open Access published report:
From the published report summary: "We show that the genomics of sampled individuals from the Blackfoot Confederacy belong to a previously undescribed ancient lineage that diverged from other genomic lineages in the Americas in Late Pleistocene times. Using multiple complementary forms of knowledge, we provide a scenario for Blackfoot population history that fits with oral tradition and provides a plausible model for the evolutionary process of the peopling of the Americas."
