Figure 2. Schematic illustration of maternal (mtDNA) gene-flow in and out of Beringia (long chronology, single source model). The Ancient Beringian (AB) is a human archaeogenetic lineage, based on the genome of an infant found at the Upward Sun River site (dubbed USR1), dated to 11,500 years ago. [1]
Fossilized footprints discovered in New Mexico indicate that early humans were walking across North America around 23,000 years ago, researchers reported Thursday. The first footprints were found ...
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.
Anzick-1 was a young (1–2 years old) Paleoindian child whose remains were found in south central Montana, United States, in 1968. He has been dated to 12,990–12,840 years Before Present. [1] The child was found with more than 115 tools made of stone and antlers and dusted with red ocher, suggesting a deliberate burial. [2]
On 3 October 2014, the Oregon cave where the oldest DNA evidence of human habitation in North America was found was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The DNA, radiocarbon dated to 14,300 years ago, was found in fossilized human coprolites uncovered in the Paisley Five Mile Point Caves in south central Oregon. [18]
Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
Scientists discovered the oldest known DNA and used it to reveal what life was like 2 million years ago in the northern tip of Greenland. “The study opens the door into a past that has basically ...
One exception to this are the Chibcha speakers of Colombia, whose ancestry comes from both North and South America. [31] In 2014, the autosomal DNA of a 12,500+ year old infant from Montana was sequenced. [32] The DNA was taken from a skeleton referred to as Anzick-1, found in close association with several Clovis artifacts.
