The 31,000-Year-Old Children’s Teeth Found Above The Arctic Circle — And The DNA Test That Revealed A Lost Ice Age Population Connected To Native American Origins
The descendants of the various populations that followed the Ancient North Siberians into the far north — the Ancient Paleo-Siberians, the Neo-Siberians, the ancestors of modern Siberian peoples — eventually established the patterns of Arctic habitation that persist today.
And across the water in the Americas, the descendants of those who crossed Beringia established their own Arctic traditions, from the ancient Paleo-Eskimos through the modern Inuit and Yupik peoples, adapting to the same general environmental challenges that the Yana community faced 31,000 years ago.
The specific cultural forms are different.
The technology is different.
The social organization is different.
No modern Arctic people are the direct cultural descendants of the Ancient North Siberians in any traceable sense.
