Adv.10,eadq4127(2024).DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adq4127  Source: Am J Biol Anthropol. 2024 Jun;184(2):e24903 Findings from a 2024 Open Access research paper with mention of A, A2, C1, C1c and D4 mitochondrial DNA haplogroups show how old and inter-related Amerindian peoples are here in the Americas -- and that modern populations share the same DNA with ancient ancestors.
"Radiocarbon dating (14C) demonstrated that the inhabitants of Puyil Cave lived during the Archaic and Classic Periods and displayed tabular oblique and tabular mimetic ACD. These pre-Hispanic remains exhibited five mtDNA lineages: A, A2, C1, C1c and D4. Network analysis revealed a close genetic affinity between pre-Hispanic Puyil Cave inhabitants and contemporary Maya subpopulations from Mexico and Guatemala, as well as individuals from Bolivia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and China."

Men only: If you have had a Y chromosome DNA test with Family Tree DNA, and have tested positive for the C-P39 Y DNA SNP or one of its subclades, please join us at the C-P39 Y DNA Family Tree DNA Project and the Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA Project where the C-P39 Y DNA haplogroup and its subclades are well-represented by project members.

"Haplogroup C, a Hidden Paternal American Lineage That Beat the Odds and Survived: Explore the intriguing survival of haplogroup C—one of the world’s oldest Y-chromosome lineages—its ancient dispersion across continents, and its continued presence in North and South America despite the dominance of haplogroup Q."

In the cited Open Access study, DNA evidence points to a "practice of matrilineal dynastic succession in early Celtic elites."  Reference: Gretzinger, J., Schmitt, F., Mötsch, A. et al.
