The 10,600-Year-Old Man Found In Nevada — And The DNA Discovery That Changed The Story Of The First Americans
The decades of work by hundreds of scientists on radiocarbon dating, ancient DNA, and population genomics made it possible to ask, and to answer, questions about a burial found in a Nevada cave eighty years earlier.
The Spirit Cave Man benefited from this accumulated science.
And in turn, his genome contributed to the ongoing development of that science — adding a data point that will continue to be built upon as the field advances.
The Nevada That Was And The Nevada That Is
The landscape of northwestern Nevada today bears almost no resemblance to what the Spirit Cave Man knew.
The ancient lake is gone.
