The 24,000-Year-Old Boy Buried With 120 Beads And A Mammoth-Ivory Tiara — And The DNA Test That Revealed A Hidden Source Of Native American Ancestry
This interpretation should be held carefully.
The connection between genetic ancestry and cultural traditions is complex and not deterministic.
Populations can share cultural practices without sharing close genetic ancestry, and vice versa.
The resemblance between the Mal’ta figurines and the European Venus figurines could reflect genetic and cultural connections, or it could reflect independent development of similar symbolic traditions in response to similar human needs.
But the genetic evidence at least makes the cultural connection plausible in a way that it was not before MA-1 was analyzed.
