Abstract
The article analyzes linguistic, anthropometric and molecular genetic characteristics of various groups of Native Americans. The analysis of the available data cannot yet lead to a consensus about the genesis and ethnicity of the native population of America. However, the hypothesis suggesting the origin of the Native Americans from the ancient Asian population, neutral by its physical type, most closely explains the variations of anthropological and genetic types of the Amerinds. And the sum of the facts that refl ect the great originality of the anthropological and genetic composition of the New World population is suffi cient for singling them out as a large autonomous race consisting of quite different anthropological variants and originating as a result of several migration fl ows from Asia over a long period of time.
