The Ancestry By DNA test (http://www.ancestrybydna.com) has found patterns of admixture in pure Old World populations:
1. Many North and East Europeans show East Asian genetic admixture. Historical explanations of this are well-known. 2. Many people of Jewish, Mediterranean, Near Eastern, and East Indian descent show Native American genetic mixture. ! Historical explanations of this are not known.
Many Meds I've known have noticed the large, aquiline noses of most Native Americans - that's the main physical clue I can think of.

The Ainu often have a taurid-like nose. The presence of this feature in the Americas therefore comes from Upper Paleolithic people living in East Asia.

It's not correct to say that most of them have noses like that. It's common in the Andes and in some North American tribes, but not in the easter part of South America or most of Central America.

I dont think that Silvids (woodland Indians) and Brasilids (Amazonas Indians) are too much related. Silvids could be partly Europid or at least Proto-Europid, but Brasilids have nothing to do with Europids and are just very primitive and Proto-Mongolids.
