Two contemporaneous mitogenomes from terminal Pleistocene burials in eastern Beringia.
Pleistocene residential sites with multiple contemporaneous human burials are extremely rare in the Americas. We report mitochondrial genomic variation in the first multiple mitochondrial genomes from a single prehistoric population: two infant burials (USR1 and USR2) from a common interment at the Upward Sun River Site in central Alaska dating to ∼11,500 cal B.P. Using a targeted capture metho...
متن کاملA terminal Pleistocene child cremation and residential structure from eastern Beringia.
The dearth of human remains and residential sites has constrained inquiry into Beringian lifeways at the transition of the late Pleistocene-early Holocene. We report on human skeletal remains and a residential structure from central Alaska dated to ~11,500 calendar years ago. The remains are from a ~3-year-old child who was cremated in a pit within a semisubterranean house. The burial-cremation...
متن کاملPleistocene megafauna from eastern Beringia: Paleoecological and paleoenvironmental interpretations of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope and radiocarbon records
Late Pleistocene eastern Beringia is a model paleo-ecosystem for the study of potential and realized species interactions within a diverse mammalian fauna. Beringian paleontological records store a wealth of information that can be used to investigate how predator–prey and competitive interactions among consumers shifted in response to past episodes of environmental change. Two such recent peri...
متن کاملMitogenomes from The 1000 Genome Project Reveal New Near Eastern Features in Present-Day Tuscans
BACKGROUND Genetic analyses have recently been carried out on present-day Tuscans (Central Italy) in order to investigate their presumable recent Near East ancestry in connection with the long-standing debate on the origins of the Etruscan civilization. We retrieved mitogenomes and genome-wide SNP data from 110 Tuscans analyzed within the context of The 1000 Genome Project. For phylogeographic ...
متن کاملGenetic consequences of Pleistocene glaciations for the tundra vole (Microtus oeconomus) in Beringia.
Repeated glacial events during the Pleistocene fragmented and displaced populations throughout the northern continents. Different models of the effects of these climate-driven events predict distinct phylogeographic and population genetic outcomes for high-latitude faunas. The role of glaciations in (i) promoting intraspecific genetic differentiation and (ii) influencing genetic diversity was t...
