Study Says Native Americans Travelled To Easter Island Long Before Columbus Got Lost And “Found” North America (Picture And Video)

(Before It's News)

New findings from the journal,Current Biology, indicate that Native Americans had visited Easter Island before Columbus sailed to the Americas. The study, “Genome-wide Ancestry Patterns in Rapanui Suggest Pre-European Admixture with Native Americans,” was conducted by a team of geneticists from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and published on November 3, 2014. The scientists analyzed genetic markers for 27 native Rapanui (Easter Islanders) and found that 8 percent of their genetic admixture came from American Indians. The study’s co-authors, Eske Willerslev and Anna-Sapfo Malaspina, argue that “evidence has been brought forward supporting the possibility of Native American contact prior to the European ‘discovery’ of the island in AD 1722.”
