Ep264: Advances in DNA Research Further Obliterate Book of Mormon Narrative


Listen Later

The Book of Mormon posits that some or all Native Americans are descended from Israelites who migrated to the Americas. However, DNA studies of modern Native Americans show no significant genetic links to Middle Eastern populations, leading to debates about the Book of Mormon's historical accuracy.

The Book of Mormon describes migrations of Israelites to the Americas, including groups like the Jaredites, Nephites, and Lamanites, who were said to be the "principal ancestors" of the Native Americans and now said to be "among" the ancestors of the Native Americans as DNA continues to challenge this narrative.

Advances in DNA studies continue to show that most Native American populations have strong genetic links to East Asian populations, with no evidence of Middle Eastern ancestry.
