Cherokee DNA Studies: Real People Who Proved the Geneticists Wrong

DNA Consultants Series on Consumer Genetics, Book 1

By: Donald N. Yates, Teresa A. Yates

Narrated by: Pete Ferrand

Most claims of Native American ancestry rest on the mother's ethnicity. This can be verified by a DNA test determining what type of mitochondrial DNA she passed to you. A hundred participants in DNA Consultants multi-phase Cherokee DNA Study did just that. What they had in common is they were previously rejected - by commercial firms, genealogy groups, government agencies and tribes. Their mitochondrial DNA was not classified as Native American. These are the "anomalous" Cherokee. Share the journeys of discovery and self-awareness of these passionate volunteers who defied the experts and are helping write a new chapter in the Peopling of the Americas.

"The Yateses' DNA findings are revolutionary." (Stephen C. Jett, Atlantic Ocean Crossings)

"Monumental." (Richard L. Thornton, Apalache Foundation)

Thinking differently now about Cherokee DNA

If you are into genealogy, DNA, or even just a science nerd, you will find this book most intriguing. The data presented, along with the real people behind the facts, makes a compelling argument regarding the true history of indigenous people. I found this most intriguing.
