Most detailed global study of genetic variation released
Professor Noah Rosenberg and his colleagues have produced the largest and most detailed worldwide study of human genetic variation, offering unprecedented insights into humanity's origins. (more)

Gene study supports native American land bridge theory
U-M researchers analyze 678 genetic markers in 29 native populations

Did a relatively small number of people from Siberia who trekked across a Bering Strait land bridge some 12,000 years ago give rise to the native peoples of North and South America?

Professor Noah A. Rosenberg, working with University of Michigan scientists and an international team of geneticists and anthropologists, has produced new genetic evidence that supports the land bridge theory.

The study, published online in PLoS Genetics in November 2007, is one of the most comprehensive analyses so far among efforts to use genetic data to shed light on the topic. (more).
