Long-Standing Mystery of North American Indigenous Peoples Solved

Through a meticulous study of the male Y chromosome in indigenous Americans, in combination with archaeological and linguistic findings as well as long-neglected indigenous accounts, Harvard-trained scientist Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson discovered:

• the missing link to bridge the gap between nations at European Contact (e.g., Lakota, Osage, Delaware, Chickasaw) and archaeological sites from the pre-Contact era
• a series of invasions of the Americas from Asia, all contemporary with the history of civilization
• new explanations for the collapse of pre-European cultures
• new evidence to support indigenous migration accounts, which revealed a never-seen-before play-by-play account of the rise and fall of pre-Columbian North American civilizations
• previously unknown links between indigenous nations north of the Rio Grande River and nations in Mesoamerica
• dramatically new narratives for the myriads of pre-European ruins scattered across the North American continent

Jeanson, who holds a PhD in biology from Harvard and today is on the staff of the Creation Museum, stated: “I grew up knowing nothing about the pre-European history of North America. This blank spot in my mind became even more glaring during my frequent trips to Europe to visit my mother’s family. In the Old World, buildings and ruins from the Middle Ages were everywhere, making the long history of Europe impossible to miss. Then we’d return to the United States, and all the tourist sites post-dated European arrival. Nothing was older than A.D. 1620. This contrast nagged me for decades—until, within the last few years, we were finally able to put the pieces together and recover the missing North American history. This book is part travelogue, as I visit the sites—so often neglected—that still hold secrets to the past.”

Dr. Jeanson, author of another ground-breaking book Replacing Darwin (2017), noted: “The mainstream scientific community has long demanded that creationists make predictions that future scientific experiments could empirically test. In 2017, my book Replacing Darwin made specific testable predictions about human history. They Had Names shows that these predictions came true, and it firmly plants creationists in a new position: As the scientific leaders in a cutting-edge field. We’re living in a new era of the creation/evolution debate where roles are dramatically being reversed.”

Several positive comments have been received by readers of a draft of the book, such as:

“For many Native Americans, our own history is a mystery to us. Yes, we have traditional stories of our migration to our heartland. But to translate those stories to current maps and timelines has not been composed in a way that is honest, respectful, and interesting—but Jeanson has been able to accomplish it.” —Sahvanna Benally, Navajo
