    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…)

            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’.
