The 12,000-Year-Old Girl Found Deep Inside A Flooded Cave — And The DNA Discovery That Changed The Story Of The First Americans
Naia is part of that depth.
She is not its beginning — the people who came before her are also part of it, their traces even less visible than hers but no less real.
She is one preserved moment in a continuous human history that extends from before her time to after it, from the Ice Age landscape of the Yucatán to the contemporary communities that still live above the caves that preserved her.
The divers who found her — Alberto Nava and his team — did not find the beginning of a story.
