Cherokee DNA Studies: Real People Who Proved the Geneticists Wrong: DNA Consultants Series on Consumer Genetics, Book 1

Very interesting What Dr. Yates writes. Now it makes sense why so many people who Know their ancestry and has documented or oral information about they're families will not test positive for Native American ancestry.

At some point our collective common sense, and a strong desire to know the truth, must meet up with the astonishing mass of evidence that disproves the single Bering Strait hypothesis for the peopling of the Americas. From the ancient, obviously African (Olmec) head sculptures in south-central Mexico (which is generally thought to be the first culture to develop a complex civilization on this continent) to the Central and South American pyramids to the cone shaped mounds littering the landscape of the continental US, ancient Egyptian influence on our native peoples is screamingly obvious. The Yates do an excellent job, in my opinion, of not only presenting the unadulterated genetic data that support the vast amount of physical evidence, but also presenting circumstantial evidence which must be considered in this case.I am very pleased that the author is not influenced by the peer pressure of our modern academia to corrupt (CHANGE!) the genetic data to fit a story that, if not absolutely untrue, is only a fractional part of the story of this continent's original peoples.If you look for truth only, you will find it and all you have to do is look up articles referring to fraudulent and fabricated 'scientific' studies by super-credentialed academics to understand that today's academic communities are not interested in truth at all. They are interested in keeping their jobs and getting published, both of which require that their research support whatever 'story' is the least troublesome.My husband and I both have strong reasons to believe that we have Cherokee and, in my case, African ancestry. I think anyone of Cherokee heritage should be profoundly proud that they 'may' descend from the astounding cultures that Dr. Yates suggests may be their origins. The architectural accomplishments of ancient Egypt are so beyond anything imaginable today, and their societies so well-structures that they lasted thousands of years, that the Egyptians will be remembered possibly throughout eternity. And native groups like the Cherokee, whom the first explorers encountered here, may be the most unadulterated example of that general culture.Update:After reading the last section, I understand that the Yates interpret the data as suggesting a mostly European or Eurasian origin for native Americans. I am not a geneticist but I think it's logical, according to the data Yates cites, that this may be the case. However, I get the feeling that recent Turkic and/or Eurasian and Jewish family names, habits and culture are implied to validate the DNA matches to Native Americans of a single 24,000 year old skeleton found near Lake Baikal. I am no academic but it makes sense to me that the culture and appearance of the population of Europe 24,000 years ago was vastly different than that of today. To my ears, rather than implying that 'Europeans...interpreted by most people to imply white men' were some of the first to colonize this continent, it validates what I have come to believe, after spending the entire later part of my 50 years reading every facet of global history I could get my hands on...that deeply melanated peoples, in addition to many other groups, played a very large part in the 'founding' of this country...and frankly, in line with the 'Out of Africa' evidence, every culture in the world. I am extremely interested in the ancient, epic voyages of the Mandinka People from West Africa, contemporary accounts of which are still available in some major African Universities, reaching the Central and South American coasts and establishing cities there. The Olmec culture was obviously African and there are reasons to believe the Aztecs were regarded by the Spanish as black people or Moors...and if anyone knew the Moors, the Spanish did. In fact, if one studies the artifacts of our central and southern neighbors' ancestors, black people and African cultures and gods/deities are clearly represented in numerous ways, the most profound to me being Bes, the deity who is similar in appearance to the Twa, with the tongue sticking out. I do find the Eurasian link very exciting but I feel it needs to be presented more in context with the darker skinned peoples who clearly play a major role in this countries foundations. Having said this, I realize that each of us identify ourselves with certain cultures, regardless of our appearance or being aware of genetic makeup, and we very normally focus on that data. It's clearly obvious that even some full blood Cherokee identified with their European invaders and chose that culture to migrate their 'seed' into.It is time to stop trusting your television and your mainstream magazines and books by Hollywood scientists. Our world today needs an infusion of truth and this can only be gained when WE, personally and individually, seek it for ourselves. I think Teresa and Donald Yates are doing a commendable job in sticking to the facts that the DNA presents and is working toward a more accurate picture of how our current culture came to be.

Mind blowing! Just goes to show that the "experts" are wrong. DNA is too new a field to be making absolutisms.Update 10/15/2021: I found the first book so compelling that I took the time to research DNA Consultants for two years before testing with the company. I learned at that time they were still accepting applicants for the Phase 3 mitochondrial study. I was thrilled when I learned that my mitochondrial line qualified and I was selected to participate in Phase 3 of the study. Now, after several years, a new volume containing the results of Phase 3 has been published, "Cherokee DNA Studies II, More Real People Who Proved the Geneticists Wrong." The new book contains even more mind-blowing information for those searching out not only Cherokee ancestry, but for those searching for other Native American lines as well. I highly recommend both Volumes I and II. I shall include my review of the new book here:Dear Don and Teresa,Congratulations on the new book! Thank you so much for your courage, hard work and perseverance ....Your books hold a place of honor in our home library. Had it not been for DNA Consultants, my family would still be in the DNA Dark Ages and victims of ever-changing ethnicities...those other companies have LOT of catching up to do...of course, all they can do now is ride on your coattails. Again, thank you for all you do! You are impacting the lives of so many in a positive way.Sincerely,Dorene Soiret

The publisher is trying to do what the bureau of Indian Affairs has done to the Indians of North America. They are saving Ink by printing it in a very faint slender type face, further they seleceted a very small font, my guess 6 point! In short the publisher does not want you to read Donald Yates information. I resorted to purchasing the Kindle version also so that I can actually read the book. I am now up to page 40 and find it very interesting. I will update this review as I progress through the book.

The war is on and unfortunately that war is being waged on scientists and people brainwashed by conservative and consensus theories on human and individual origins.This book is great for showing examples and personal testimonies of people that proved the established science wrong. If you have encountered people telling you who you are and pigeonholing your identity, then this book is a must read.

The authors couldn't decide whether this was to be a scientific report on anomalous DNA of people with Cherokee background or a report on their personal family tree. The book kept switching back and forth between the two with a lot of information reported twice. Sometimes it was confusing to follow, but it did have some very fascinating information on possible ancient migrations.

My cousin and I both did the Ancestry.com DNA hoping to find the Native American DNA identified to confirm the family heritage we'd grown up hearing. We were so disappointed when results showed mostly Eastern European and a small percentage now identified as Western Asian. This book gives WONDERFUL information as to the FACTS. History of discovery of this country is not what we were taught is school after all!

Great book
