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
There was another source of ancestry in the Native American genome — a source that did not come from East Asia in any simple sense, and that reflected a population with a very different geographic and genetic history.
The people at Mal’ta, and the broader population to which they belonged, were not East Asian in the same sense as the populations that contributed the dominant East Asian signal to Native American ancestry.
They were a different population — one that had lived in Siberia during the Last Glacial Maximum but whose deepest roots, genetically speaking, traced back through western Eurasia rather than through East Asia.
This was the hidden source.
