“After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians.”

Some argue DNA disproves the historicity of the Book of Mormon while others say it offers supporting evidence. In 2014, the LDS Church released an essay addressing this issue. As concluded in that essay, genetic studies on past populations involve many complicated factors, making it impossible to either prove or disprove the Book of Mormon using DNA analysis.
