DNA vs. the Book of Mormon: What Genetics Reveals About Ancient America
For nearly two centuries, the Book of Mormon has made specific claims about the origins of ancient peoples in the Americas. But over the last few decades, advances in DNA analysis, genetics, and population science have transformed our understanding of how the Americas were first populated.
What does the genetic evidence actually show? Can DNA confirm or challenge the Book of Mormon's historical claims? And what are the strengths—and limitations—of using modern genetics to investigate the distant past?
In this episode, we take an evidence-based look at one of the most discussed topics in the conversation surrounding Mormonism. We'll examine what mainstream genetic research says, how Latter-day Saint scholars and apologists have responded, and why this issue continues to generate debate among believers, former members, historians, and scientists alike.
Whether you're an active Latter-day Saint, a former member, or simply interested in archaeology, ancient history, and genetics, this episode offers a thoughtful overview of the evidence and the ongoing discussion.
