Adv.10,eadq4127(2024).DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adq4127 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."
