Thanks for the information Armando, I appreciate it. Where this is becoming a bit complicated, is when it comes to South Eastern Indians. The evidence for a dual migration ancestry, of modern Native American's from Siberia, is building. As the Lake Baikal remains have proven - from DNA analysis - conclusions are yet to be drawn, as to how the peopling of the Americas actually happened.
There is a lot of so called "conspiracy theories", about ancient giants, the Smithsonian cover up, double rows of teeth and such. But there is also many legitimate stories, from people claiming Native American ancestry, that nothing is showing up in their DNA. Could it be that those people are getting "false positives"? As in, their Native American ancestors DNA, is showing up under other ancestral portions, adding to their already recent ancestry from those areas - akin to how Mal'ta boy is more closely related to Europeans and South Asians, than modern East Asians?
I know the number of kind of "transitional period" people's DNA is low - for example those crossing the Bering Land Bridge - and this would effect the way population calculations are made. I'm sure the accuracy would increase with greater sample sizes.
There are still many unknowns, yet to be uncovered.
