Haplogroup X - The Key to Unraveling Native American History

Why is Haplogroup X primarily confined to the northeastern United States, and the Basque Region of Spain and with the Druze in the Eastern Mediterranean, a seemingly disconnected geography? Did people from what is now the Basque Region of Europe migrate across frozen ice some 25,000 years ago to North America? Did this group bring the enigmatic Clovis-style spearpoints to The Americas and hunt Mammoth in Florida some 25,000 years ago?

In the long silence between the melting glaciers and the dawn of agriculture, a lineage stirred in the wilds of North America. Hidden in the peat bogs of Florida, sealed in the bones of a man buried by a river in Washington State, and carried in the mitochondrial DNA of the Ojibwe and Sioux, haplogroup X-2-a remains one of the greatest mysteries in the ancient history of the Americas.

Unlike the more common Native American mitochondrial lineages, this lineage appears abruptly, sparsely distributed yet undeniably ancient, tracing a path that defies the simplest explanations. Across thousands of years and thousands of miles, the carriers of haplogroup X walked with mammoths, watched ice sheets recede, and remembered a world older than memory, leading to much controversy around this genetic mystery.
