Kennewick Man or Ancient One[nb 1] was a Native American man who lived during the early Holocene, whose skeletal remains were found washed out on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington, on July 28, 1996. Radiocarbon tests show the man lived about 8,400 to 8,690 years Before Present, making his skeleton one of the most complete ...
As of 2021, the oldest completely reconstructed human genomes are ~45,000 years old. [ 96 ] [ 76 ] Such genetic data provides insights into the migration and genetic history – e.g. of Europe – including about interbreeding between archaic and modern humans like a common admixture between initial European modern humans and Neanderthals.
The Spirit Cave mummy is the oldest human mummy found in North America. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] It was discovered in 1940 in Spirit Cave, [ 4 ] 13 miles (21 km) east [ 5 ] of Fallon, Nevada, United States, by the husband-and-wife archaeological team of Sydney and Georgia Wheeler.

These were unearthed in the 4.4-million-year-old (Ma) deposits of the Afar region in Aramis, Ethiopia from 1992 to 1993, making them the oldest hominin remains at the time, surpassing Australopithecus afarensis. They initially classified it as Australopithecus ramidus, the species name deriving from the Afar language ramid "root". [1]
