The 24,000-Year-Old Boy Buried Beneath A Stone Slab With 120 Beads And Mammoth-Ivory Jewelry — And The DNA Test That Revealed A Hidden Source Of Native American Ancestry
Other ancient individuals provide additional data points, filling in the story between the Last Glacial Maximum and the founding of the Americas.
The Art That Connected East And West
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Mal’ta site — and one that connects it to a broader cultural world that the DNA evidence also illuminates — is the artistic tradition it represents.
The female figurines of Mal’ta have been compared to the Venus figurines of Upper Paleolithic Europe for more than half a century.
The comparison is visually compelling: both traditions produce stylized representations of the female human body in carved stone, bone, or ivory, with certain anatomical features emphasized and others reduced or omitted.
