FIGURE
1: This DNA migration pattern map, created from compiled
research on DNA populations around the world, demonstrates that
the first Humans originated in Africa about 130-170 thousand
years ago. Groups L.1, L.2, and L.3 exhibit the most conserved
DNA patterns. Group L.3 populated the rest of the planet during
early Human migrations. Northern Europeans (Groups H, T, U, V,
W, and X) and Southern Europeans (Groups I, J, and K) migrated
out of Africa about 39-51 thousand years ago. Asian populations
migrated out of Africa about 56-73 thousand years ago, and
populated the Americas by crossing the Bering Strait in 3
different migrations. The first migration into the Americas was
about 26-34 thousand years ago, the second was about 12-15
thousand years ago, and the third was about 7-9 thousand years
ago. The data also demonstrates a possible 4th migration the
actually took place about 15 thousand years ago when
Scandinavian Vikings crossed the Atlantic and mixed with Native
Americans that crossed the Bering Strait (haplogroup X).
