mtDNA in modern and ancient Native Americans

Patterns of mtDNA Diversity in Northwestern North America
Ripan S. Malhi et al.
Abstract
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups of 54 full-blooded modern and 64 ancient Native Americans from northwestern North America were determined. The control regions of 10 modern and 30 ancient individuals were sequenced and compared. Within the Northwest, the frequency distribution for haplogroup A is geographically structured, with haplogroup A decreasing with distance from the Pacific Coast. The haplogroup A distribution suggests that a prehistoric population intrusion from the subarctic and coastal region occurred on the Columbia Plateau in prehistoric times. Overall, the mtDNA pattern in the Northwest suggests significant amounts of gene flow among Northwest Coast, Columbia Plateau, and Great Basin populations.
All I want to say to diekenis or whatever your name is, who do you think you are to pass judgement on who and what the slavs are? Typical of a greek thinking they invented everything, even people, shame!!! Your people oppress slavic-speaking populaces in your country and here you are passing judgment on us. You can delete as many postings of mine as you want for i have made it my mission to rid the net of such a pathetic and hypocritical site. So quick to say "no politics", when you are challenged on greek ethnicity you come up with excuses such as "always aware of being greek". I would have thought that a great historian such as yourself would have been aware that the ottoman empire was run by a millet system consisting of religions not nations. Many greeks willingly converted to islam to retain their hold on power. When the pelleponese was liberated, the majority of the people there were muslims who spoke a language called 'greek', which by the way is a roman word. Does that mean that the 'greek' people of today are a roman invention, or a turkish one? Maybe you delete my postings because you cannot handle the truth! You are the wrong person to have a discussion site on the slavs for you are a greek, eternal enemy of the slav, and forever will be. See you in hell.............

'Greek' is an English word from Latin graecus from Greek graikos a word first attested in Aristotle. It's a word of Greek origin.
Of course, the Greek people of today are not a "turkish invention".

No, I deleted your posting because you don't follow the blog rules, and used phrases like "death to all greeks"
>> You are the wrong person to have a discussion site on the slavs for you are a greek, eternal enemy of the slav, and forever will be.
Funny you should say that since you call yourself "Macedonian". You are aware that Macedonian is a word with Greek etymology, aren't you?
Of course, Greeks are not enemies of the Slavs, after all it's to the Greeks that the Slavs owe their entrance to the circle of civilized peoples.
>> See you in hell.............
You'll have to go there without me. Subsequent posts with violations of blog rules will be deleted.
