In 2014, researchers sequenced the Anzick child's genome and traced Clovis ancestry to Native Americans
A young child's ancient genome, Anzick-1, unearthed with distinct Clovis tools, revolutionized understanding of early American settlers. This rare find directly linked human remains to one of North America's earliest cultures. The DNA revealed a close genetic tie to modern Native Americans, confirming a significant ancestral link and shedding light on ancient Siberian gene flow into the continent's indigenous populations.
