It is now widely agreed that the Native American founders originated from a Beringian source population ~15-18 thousand years ago (kya) and rapidly populated all of the New World on a Pacific coastal route. The currently identified mtDNA founders comprise the major pan-American lineages A2, B2, C1b, C1c, C1d, and D1, and the minor lineages D2a, D3, X2a, X2g, C4c, and D4h3a.
