Are Native Americans (North and South Americas)....... (Iran, middle east, Israel)

.....really came from East Asia? They look more like the admixture of South East Asians and Central Asians. Thoughts?

Didn't East Asians come from Central Asians?

This is why I'm grateful to be from outer space.

Did you come from inner space?

They look similar to Mongolians and native people from Siberia.

Its rather interesting. There were multiple waves of people of different Haplogroups that came over at different times. They are related to people of various parts of Asia and elsewhere. The X haplogroup exists in some groups in Eastern North America, Southern Europe and North Africa.

They're supposedly related to Siberians as of 20,000 years ago.

Modern populations are totally irrelevant. People have moved around and interbred an awful lot in the past 20,000 years.

I think so...I worked in Mongolia for 14 months and it seems like the look and culture have similarities too strong to ignore. Mongolians have gers instead of teepees, nomadic, respect for nature and animals and seems to like similar colors and styles.

The attached is a good representation of how the flow of humans came to north American. Not all of the waves that came into the Americas were the same (there are five separate haplogroups found in the indigenous peoples of the Americas). The C group is mostly Eastern and Northern Asia but as far away as Eastern Europe. The Q group originates from as far away as Northern Iran.

The X haplogroup is probably the most interesting. Druze from the Middle east are actually related to some of the people from North American.

"The greatest frequency of haplogroup X is observed in the Druze, a minority population in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria,"
"Haplogroup X is also one of the five haplogroups found in the indigenous peoples of the Americas"
