Is it possible that the Native Americans and the "Spanish" speaking population now in the America are related

Question

to the Turkish tribes living in Asia or even the people in Pakistan, India, Iran etc???


Because the look very similar in ways and also seem to have similar ways of acting.


Just was curious.

Answer 1

I think it's interesting I always wonder about stuff like that too.The people from Mexico are for sure related to the Native Americans because they are called metis which means that their ancestors are Native American and European.Even some or all Native Americans have European background so they are defiantly the same race but with different cultures.I don`t know about the other groups,but I wish I know because I have grandparents who are either Indian or mixed with Indian,and my mom couldn`t give me a precise answer which Indian group they are from.I`m from the Caribbean and we have Indians from India ,Caribs and so on.Iran sounds like a completely different thing.I know some Iranian people and they don`t look like some of the groups you mention,but you`ll notice that they look like other middle eastern people and Africans-Egyptians,.......
Wish i can help more.

Answer 2

No, the Native American population's DNA is haplogroup A-D & X on the female side (mtDNA) & Q3 on the male side. This puts them related to the East Asians, Central & Western Asians & surprisingly some North Western Europeans.
On a personnal note, my son (adopted) is native American but looks more Turkish or Mid Eastern than Asian. Therefore I can see why you would ask the question.

Answer 3

Oh course, look at the similarities.

10 fingers (2 opposable thumbs included)
10 toes
2 legs, 2 arms
either a penis or a vagina (sometimes both)
verbal communications by means of words
23 pairs of chromosomes.
We share a common ancestor even (since Homo Sapiens is believed to have come out of Africa)

But most important, if a male and a female had sex- they could produce a viable offspring (by that I mean we're all HUMANS).

Answer 4

Only if you go back to the mists of the beginning of time. While ever since the first bands of humans began moving out there have been intermingling of peoples, for the most part this intermingling has been slow and over a long period of time.
Check with the National Geographics Genotype Project.

Answer 5

Well, if you go back far enough, yes we are all related. But I think that the different groups of people you refer to looking alike is not due to them being directly related. I think it has more to due with people gradually changing to best suit their environment and these groups of people living in similar environments. Bergman's and Allen's rules explain that people's features are a product of environment, so if different groups of people live in similar environments, eventually over generations of time they will begin to resemble each other.

Answer 6

yes! india colonized hawaii! and the hawaiians then spread all the way down to new zealand. during the ice age, the sea level was much lower, and there were several more islands and atolls in the pacific, making it possible to sail from island to island. as sea levels rose, the pacific islands became more and more isolated. some say that south america was colonized by the pacific islanders whose anscestors were from india.

Answer 7

I think that the Native Americans are, in fact, descendants from Asian folks who migrated across the Bering Strait many millennia ago.

Answer 8

Yes most defiantly, Just like many people here in the us have native American blood. If you go back far enough we are all related.

Answer 9

I have always believed that our "Native American base" came from the Orient via the Bering Strait. Peace, Love and God Bless.

Answer 10

They migrated from Siberia across the Baring Straits.

There are all kinds of 'chances' about the interrelating thing you ask. Genetics is the key to the answers though.
