Cavali-Svorza (I believe that's the spelling) has worked at a genetic family
tree of all the races.  There is lots of interesting stuff related to Native
Americans, but since genetics is not something I understand really well, I
can't recall most of it.  Unusually large groupings around a small number of
alleles, suggestive that there was a small number of original settlers who
were
closely related.  Can't recall anything else.

No languages are proven to be related to Ainu.  Lots of speculation though.
Japanese, Altaic, even Indo-European.  (They must not have actually looked at
the language for that last one. :) )
