"Ancient DNA Shows Humans Settled Caribbean in 2 Distinct Waves."
"Millions of people living on the islands today inherited genes from the people who made them home before Europeans arrived ... The genes of the oldest known residents of the Caribbean link them with the earliest populations that settled in Central and South America ... But it’s not yet clear exactly from where on the mainland those early Indigenous Americans set sail in dugout canoes to reach the Caribbean islands ... In the Ceramic Age record, it becomes hard to find people with much Archaic ancestry ... Scientists have yet to find ancient DNA in the Caribbean that is more than 3,000 years old. The other problem is that ancient DNA is still scarce on the Caribbean coast of the mainland."
Who knows about where the Siboney and Carib peoples fit into the indigenous history of the Caribbean?
