Achilli et al. (1) present unique evidence concerning human mitogenomes and argue that such data are sufficient to generate a consensus scenario for the first settlement of the Americas. Here, we challenge their statement of having achieved a reconciling model because it ignores coherent ideas recently proposed by many researchers. To begin with, the results of Achilli et al. are presented as challenging the three-migration wave model (2), and a paper published by us (3) is cited as supporting this classic migration scenario. However, our article did not support simplistic scenarios, such as the three-migration model. Rather, we suggested—based on craniofacial data, as well as genetic, linguistic and archaeological evidence—that an initial major dispersal began after the Last Glacial Maximum (21,000 y B.P.). We also suggested that the biological and cultural characteristics of the first Americans that emerged—in part—during a standstill period in Beringia, were reshaped by recurrent trans-Beringian/circum-Arctic …
