Creationists are replacing Darwin’s ideas with better explanations for the origin of species. In fact, creationist ideas perform even better than expected.

Apparently, AIG got their information garbled. Native American DNA shows a much more ancient link to Eurasia than the AIG article claims:

Rather than deriving entirely from East Asians, as had once been thought, it now appears that Native Americans may be the result of a mixing of peoples from Western Eurasia and Asians.

Published in the November 20 edition of the journal Nature, the study of the newly-sequenced genome of the boy, who lived 24,000 years ago, shows that fully one-third of his DNA was from west Eurasian people who are linked to the Middle East and Europe.
...
Incredibly, the bone material from the boy provided what researchers believe is the oldest genome of modern humans to ever be sequenced.

His DNA contains genes that are found today in western Eurasians who live in the Middle East and Europe, as well as in Native Americans; most surprisingly, however, it shows no evidence of any relation to East Asians who are living now.

The scientists had enough genetic material dating back to 17,000 years ago to create an entire second individual genome; that also revealed a similar genetic structure to that of the boy.

Society thrived through frigid Last Glacial Maximum period​

Interestingly, the find also showed that modern humans were able to live and thrive in this part of Siberia throughout the frigid period that occurred as part of the Last Glacial Maximum, which ended approximately 13,000 years ago.

DNA Shows Native Americans Have Origin in Western Eurasia

Scientists who have sequenced DNA from a boy in Siberia say Native Americans share genetic material with Middle Easterners and Europeans.
