Every Major Native American Tribe Left These Physical Traits In American Families — Check Yours Now

Do you have Native American ancestry? The answer might already be visible in your body. Every major Native American tribe — Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Navajo, Sioux, Apache, Comanche — left specific, scientifically documented physical traits in the bodies of their descendants. And millions of Americans carry those traits right now without knowing what they mean. This video covers 7 physical signs of Native American ancestry that scientists have documented in peer-reviewed research. We start with shovel-shaped incisors — a distinctive tooth shape found in 85 to 95 percent of Native American populations and caused by a gene variant called EDARV370A that is almost entirely absent in Europeans. We cover the thick straight dark hair that comes from the same EDARV370A gene — the same gene that also produces more sweat glands per square centimeter of skin than European populations carry. We cover the Mongolian spot — the bluish-grey birthmark present at birth in 85 to 90 percent of Native American infants and only 1 to 10 percent of Caucasian infants, which fades by age five and which your parents may have noticed without ever connecting it to anything. We cover high cheekbones — the prominent zygomatic bone structure documented in Native American populations and connected to the same EDARV370A gene effects on facial development. We cover the epicanthal fold found in Native American populations through the shared Beringian ancestry that connects Indigenous Americans to East Asian populations. We cover skin undertone — the warm reddish-brown undertone that persists in families with Native American ancestry even when the overall skin color is relatively light. And we cover why the EDARV370A gene — one of the strongest signals of natural selection in the entire human genome — swept through every Native American population 20,000 years ago as the ancestors of Indigenous Americans moved through Beringia from Asia into the Americas.

Physical traits are indicators, not proof of Native American ancestry. The EDARV370A gene variant and associated physical traits appear in both Native American and East Asian populations — the presence of these traits in an individual does not specifically confirm Native American ancestry as opposed to East Asian ancestry. No DNA test can confirm tribal citizenship or membership. The Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and United Keetoowah Band require documented lineal descent from a Dawes Roll enrollee for citizenship — physical traits and DNA tests are not accepted. #NativeAmericanAncestry #NativeAmericanPhysicalTraits #CherokeeBlood #NativeAmericanDNA #HiddenAncestry #EDARV370A #ShovelTeeth #MongolianSpot #HighCheekbones #NativeAmericanFeatures #IndigenousAncestry #CherokeeAncestry #NativeAmericanHeritage #AncestryDNA #DNATest #NativeAmericanBlood #IndigenousPhysicalTraits #AmICherokeee #HiddenNativeAmerican #NativeAmericanSigns #CherokeePhysicalTraits #NativeAmericanGenes #DawesRolls #NativeAncestry #PhysicalTraitsAncestry #NativeAmericanRoots #IndigenousGenetics #NativeAmericanDNATest #AmericanIndian #NativeBlood #CherokeeNation #FiveCivilizedTribes #NativeAmericanHistory #IndigenousHeritage #NativeAmericanPride #AncestryTest #DNAResults #AmericanBloodlines #FindYourRoots #NativeAmericanGenealogy
