      Great article. It’s worth remembering that DNA is only evidence that someone banged, and I imagine there’s a fair amount of contact that goes on before that.

      A North American group from Colombia

      I hope this person just meant to say “Native American”, and doesn’t really think Colombia is in North America.

      (sorry, I’ve spent the last week proofreading articles…)

          The funny thing is, I can’t even tell if you’re being serious or joking…

              Yeah, they also varied between spelling it “Columbia” and “Colombia” in the same article.

              But I get it, there’s not a lot of money in popular science publishing so they may not even have a copy editor, at least those kinds of stories are still getting popularized and not just ‘ancient aliens’.
