Europeans Among First to America?

Recently the genome of a 24,000 year-old boy was dug up at Mal'ta near Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia. What makes this boy different from others is that his genes actually matched Western European genes and Native American genes, but not East Asian. What this means is that Europeans had traveled much farther east at that time period than what was previously known, and this mixed culture of people was among the first to either cross the land bridge into Alaska. Another study that backs this research up shows that 1 of the five mitochondrial DNA lineages is found in both Native Americans and Europeans.
