Polynesian DNA mysteriously shows up in a Brazilian tribe | Ars Technica

…some researchers have found some Polynesian DNA in the remains of some Native Americans. Oddly, however, the remains are on the exact opposite side of the continent from where the Polynesians are likely to have landed. Even the researchers themselves are at a bit of a loss to explain it; after considering several possible causes, even the one they find most likely gets labelled as “fanciful.”

And yet not once did I see Atlantis, aliens, or mole people mentioned. So just how “fanciful” are these explanations, really? 🙂
