Scientific excavations and analysis in the Paisley Caves since 2002 have uncovered substantial new discoveries, including subfossil human coprolites with the oldest DNA evidence of human habitation in North America, various artifacts, and animal remains. The DNA was radiocarbon dated to 14,300 BP or roughly 12,000 BC. [3]
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.
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 Your Knees Cave is currently one of the earliest known settlements along the Northwest Coast of North America. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was extracted from one of the individual's molars. The genetic analysis revealed that the individual, dubbed Shuká Káa ( Tlingit : Man Ahead Of Us ) [ 6 ] was a male.
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 ...
A 2013 study in the journal Nature reported that DNA found in the 24,000-year-old remains of a young boy in Mal'ta Siberia suggest that up to one-third of the indigenous Americans may have ancestry that can be traced back to western Eurasians, who may have "had a more north-easterly distribution 24,000 years ago than commonly thought" [16 ...
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.
Kane County Coroner Robert Russell said in a news conference that the girl was born in October 1848 but died at just 17 years old in 1866, likely due to complications during childbirth.
