The 8,800-Year-Old Man Found 1,000 Feet Inside A Colorado Cave — And The DNA Test That Linked Him To A Native American Founder Lineage
The Population Behind The Individual
The Hourglass Cave man was not alone in the early Holocene Rocky Mountain landscape.
He was a member of a community — a group of people who lived, hunted, and traveled together, who shared knowledge about the landscape and its resources, who maintained the social and technological traditions of their group.
We know nothing specific about that community from the Hourglass Cave evidence.
We do not know its size, its territorial range, its social organization, or its relationship to other communities in the region.

He didn’t respond. He simply picked up his old briefcase and closed the door. When six relatives opened it the next morning, they stopped laughing when they discovered what he had been protecting all night.
