Medical researchers found that they could compare genetic samples of people back then to a variety of gene samples of people now all around the world, and they could identify where the people came from and the timing of when they migrated. This experiment allowed scientists to draw chronological conclusions about human migration. The DNA evidence shows the population changes that dates back before the arrival of Columbus.
I think that it is really interesting how the medical field and the geography/history fields can be linked. I think that it is really cool that scientists can pinpoint where/when people migrated from just by looking at their DNA.
