Well, the original findings had four main genetic groups. There were designated haplogroups A, B, C, and D; testing of these haplogroups showed them to be from Asian based groups. However, further DNA evidence shows that there was a fifth founding genetic haplogroup found among Native Americans, and it shows that they have ties to Europe, rather than Asia.

This group has been found throughout Europe and is known to be one of the 12 primary haplogroup lineages. This lineage is haplogroup X, and, according to geneticists, its origins are the "hills of Galilee" in the Holy Land of Israel (Jerusalem). Haplogroup X has been found in over a hundred Native American tribes. The DNA was sequenced by an Antrhopology professor, professor Deborah Bolnick, from the bones of the ancient Hopewell Mound Builders in Ohio and Illinois. The specific variation of haplogroup X found in both North America and Jerusalem is X2A. For more information on this Pre-Columbian advanced civilization, see the Related Links below.

Did Native Americans have alcohol before the Europeans came?

Sandia labs researchers are using science (specifically gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) to analyze Native American pots from the American Southwest. The 'belief', not facts based, of archeologists that Europeans introduced fermented beverages aka alcohol to the Native Americans is probably faulty. Historical evidence for fermented beverages exist for surrounding native groups around the North American continent. Further information is now found in many places around the Internet. look for scientific investigations.
