That means you’re of asian descent… but that’s like saying that if you go back far enough, we’re all of African descent (according to current theory). For more information on how ancestry can be traced back so far, try looking up mitochondrial DNA studies. I can’t quite remember, but I think SNP’s (single nucleotide polymorphisms) have also been used for ancestry/ethnicity studies. These sorts of things could tell how genetically similar one geographic group is to another, and find whether a given native american tribe is most closely related to Chinese, Mongolian, etc. I haven’t done any research on the subject, but assuming that native americans came over the land bridge, I would guess they’re most closely related to people who live on the Russian side of the bearing strait, and people from northern china… but it
