The 11,500-Year-Old Baby Found In Alaska — And The DNA That Revealed A Lost Branch Of The First Americans

Why Alaska Is The Key To Understanding Everything That Came After
The importance of the Upward Sun River site — and of Alaska more broadly — for understanding the founding of the Americas cannot be overstated.
Alaska is where the story begins, in a geographic sense, and the ancient genomic record of Alaska is the closest thing we have to a direct window into the founding population before it spread across the hemisphere.
The founding population of the Americas entered from the northeast — from Beringia, across the land bridge that connected Asia to Alaska when sea levels were low.
