Scientists Compared Black American DNA to Every Native American Tribe — The Results Shocked Everyone

Millions of Black Americans have grown up carrying this story — a claim of Native American ancestry woven so deeply into family identity that it felt as certain as a surname. And then, one by one, scientists began testing it. They collected DNA from tens of thousands of Black Americans and compared it to the genomes of every major Native American tribal population that had ever been sequenced — the Cherokee, the Choctaw, the Sioux, the Navajo, the Comanche, the Seminole, the Colville, the Chickasaw, and dozens more. Tribe by tribe. Chromosome by chromosome. What the results showed was not what most people expected.
