NEW GENETIC FINDINGS ABOUT CHAMORRO ORIGINS



Not surprsing, to me, that the DNA brings us back to eastern Indonesia and that there seems to be a later new strain around the time latte stones appear in the Marianas.

The genetic indicators seem consistent with archaeological and linguistic evidence.

This oldest strain goes back around 4000 years, consistent with the evidence found, to date, of human habitation in the Marianas, which goes back at least 3700 years.
