Ancient DNA in America

Abstract

In this issue of Revista Argentina de Antropología Biológica, contributions by Latin American research groups are presented, coming from the field of paleogenetics, that complement archaeological, morphological, and linguistic data. Using various methods mitochondrial lineages were analyzed to understand the processes that delineated space and temporal distribution of Native Americans, their variability and origin, trying to answer particular questions about the different groups that inhabited our continent in the past.
