The sun was setting as archae-ologist Kurt Rademaker climbed past 4500 meters in the Andes Mountains of Peru. His goal was to find the source of the obsidian that ancient people on the coast of Peru had used to make stone tools. But right then, “I was looking for someplace to spend the night,” Rademaker says. “I popped over a ridge, right into a rock shelter”—a natural shelter that prom

mtDNA only travels via the maternal side of linages, so it definitely wasn't as you've spelled out. Here's a more likely explanation of how at least some European mtDNA linages were introduced into Native American communities:
