Native Americans are genetically closest kin to Asians.
Off topic, but of passing interest. Actually, it depends on what kinds of Asians you’re talking about. North Chinese DNA is closer to Caucasian, taken as a whole, than it is to South Chinese or any other group we refer to as “Asian” or “Oriental”. Some, including those ethnic groups in China and eastern Siberia that seem most closely related to Native Americans, appear to have some Turkic influences (though the reverse could be true). Japanese are virtually a genetic pool all their own, but loosely akin to both Korean and Pacific Islander (e.g. Filipino) The Ainu of Japan seem to be akin to Australian Aborigines. Most orientals can quickly distinguish among the various Oriental groups, in the same sort of way Caucasians can distinguish between, say, most Sicilians and most Swedes.
Nobody knows what a “glorified body” is, exactly, but one can posit some of the characteristics, from what we know. Our Lady appeared in Mexico as an ethnic Aztec. She appeared in France as ultra-European. One might conclude that Jesus, like her, can have the appearance He chooses to have, but with a unifying sameness of what is most important. Interestingly, and a bit off topic, but related, one has to wonder about Jesus’ ability to walk through a door. Is this a suspension of the laws of physics or is it a perfect alignment with them. In other words, since most of atomic structure is actually empty space, is a glorified body capable of so organizing its atoms that, like they tell us some galaxies might be capable of doing, it might pass through another body without colliding with anything? Is a glorified body perhaps able to be of any apparent age; time no longer being a constraint in any manner? But if, say, a glorified body could take on any age appearance, might that appearance be beautiful, no matter what? Everyone has known, for example, some octegenarian or other who, despite his/her age, was somehow quite attractive, despite our preoccupation with youth. When we try to think it through, it always seems there is some kind of “inner quality” that causes it. Is it possible that something about the glorification causes the person to “register” as beautiful, no matter what? Is it the “true self”, perhaps, as God wants our “true selves” to be? Is it also possible that a glorified body is, in fact, all of its possible ages and “racial” DNA potential, all at once, but being able to choose which one is manifest to the observer, in the same sort of way I might manifest one aspect of my personality to one person, but a different one to another? If, as some geneticists tell us, there is truly nothing totally alien from one human DNA set to another, (which is why we can produce fertile offspring, regardless of race) Jesus could perhaps appear as a black man and truly be a black man, while simultaneously being every other “race” there is, but not appearing so to the selected observer, unless, perhaps, that observer is also in a glorified body. Might it be that a glorified human would be totally “integrated”, body and soul, so that what one “knows” and what one “sees” are not different, and “knowing” that Jesus is all ages and all races might, to such a person, be the same as “seeing” Him in that manner. Fascinating stuff, to me, anyway. When you think about it, things theological could be (and almost certainly are) far more astounding than anything any science fiction writer could ever come up with.
