Spain-based research center the Institute of Evolutionary Biology has created a visualization showing how Indigenous populations across the Americas are genetically related and distributed. The map highlights diversity across 53 populations, illustrating more than a million unique DNA variants and the regional patterns shaped by migration and environmental adaptation. It traces three major migration waves, around 15,000 years ago (left), 9,000 years ago (middle), and 1,300 years ago (right), revealing how ancestry spread and shifted over time.
