Losing A Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA, And The Mormon Church by Simon G. Southerton (Senior Research Scientist with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Canberra, Australia) is an impressively accessible study of the Native American's pre-migration origin. Deftly exploring the modern sciences and the recent discoveries made through ground breaking DNA research which provides confirmation of Siberian and Polynesian genetic heritage with respect the bloodline of Native Americans, which is a great counterpoint to the 175 years of teaching from the Latter-day Saint Mormon church which argued the decent of Native American peoples from seafaring Israelites. As a work of extraordinary scientific, biological, and DNA research , as well as its progressive compromise of Mormonism's theological concepts as to Native American origins, Losing A Lost Tribe is thoughtful and thought-provoking reading.
