Native Americans Came From Asia… So Why Don’t They Look Asian?

If Native Americans came from Asia, why don't they look like people in Asia today? The answer is hidden in Ice Age DNA, a frozen land bridge, and a 24,000-year-old boy buried in Siberia. In this video, we follow the real science behind why Native Americans and East Asians look different. From Kennewick Man, the 8,500-year-old skull that fooled experts, to shovel-shaped teeth, Type O blood, and a lost "Population Y" in the Amazon, every clue leads to one of the biggest surprises in human history: the Mal'ta boy, whose DNA connects Native Americans to both Asia AND Europe.
