Highlights•Genome-wide analysis of 49 Central and South Americans up to ∼11,000 years old•Two previously unknown genetic exchanges between North America•Distinct link a Clovis culture-associated genome the oldest Americans•Continent-wide replacement Clovis-associated ancestry beginning at least 9,000 agoSummaryWe report genome-wide ancient DNA from individuals forming four parallel time transects in Belize, Brazil, Andes, Southern Cone, each dating ∼9,000 ago. The common ancestral population...
Brazilians are highly admixed with ancestry from Europe, Africa, America, and Asia yet still underrepresented in genomic databanks. We hereby present a collection of exomic variants 609 elderly census-based cohort (SABE609) comprehensive phenotyping. Variants were deposited ABraOM (Online Archive Brazilian Mutations), Web-based public database. Population representative phenotype genotype repositories essential for variant interpretation through allele frequency filtering; since individuals...
We present here evidence for an early Holocene case of decapitation in the New World (Burial 26), found rock shelter Lapa do Santo 2007. is archaeological site located Lagoa Santa karst east-central Brazil with human occupation dating as far back 11.7–12.7 cal kyBP (95.4% interval). An ultra-filtered AMS age determination on a fragment sphenoid provided range 9.1–9.4 interval) Burial 26. The interment was composed articulated cranium, mandible and first six cervical vertebrae.

Abstract
Background Most investigations regarding the First Americans have primarily focused on four themes: when New World was settled by humans; where they came from; how many migrations or colonization pulses from elsewhere were involved in process; and what kinds of subsistence patterns material culture developed during first millennia colonization. Little is known, however, about symbolic world humans who World, because artistic manifestations either as rock-art, ornaments, portable art objects...
ABSTRACT The history of human occupation in Brazil dates to at least 14 kyr BP, and the country has largest record early remains from continent. Despite importance richness Brazilian skeletal collections, biological relationships between groups their implications for knowledge about dispersion have not been properly explored. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment morphological affinities East‐Central, Coastal, Northeast, South distinct periods test best scenarios explain observed...
ABSTRACT The Botocudo Indians were hunter‐gatherer groups that occupied the East‐Central regions of Brazil decimated during colonial period in country. During 19th century, craniometric studies suggested resembled more Paleoamerican population Lagoa Santa than typical Native Americans groups. These results suggest might represent a retained biological characteristics early continent, remaining largely isolated from gave origin to modern South American variation. Moreover, recently, some...
Este estudo tem como objetivos caracterizar o perfil demográfico e socioeconômico de nove comunidades remanescentes quilombos no vale do Ribeira, estado São Paulo, identificar os principais fatores responsáveis pelas mudanças recentes nos seus padrões subsistência. Desde a formação das primeiras aglomerações escravos libertos foragidos século XVIII, as relações estabelecidas entre estas populações com cidades próximas mercado regional têm vivenciado momentos retração expansão, adaptando-se...
A origem e a dispersão dos povos Tupiguarani têm sido intensamente debatidas entre arqueólogos linguistas nas últimas cinco décadas. Em resumo, pode-se dizer que ideia de esses povos, ocuparam grande parte do território brasileiro da Bolívia, Paraguai, Uruguai Argentina, tiveram sua etnogênese na Amazônia dali partiram para o leste sul, por volta 2.500 anos antes presente, é bastante aceita os especialistas, embora uma no sentido oposto, isto é, sul norte, com bacia Tietê-Paraná, não seja...
A região cárstica de Lagoa Santa tem sido suma importância para as discussões sobre o tempo e modo da dispersão dos primeiros americanos. Lapa do Santo, escavada na última década, originou uma das maiores coleções esqueletos humanos desta região. Neste trabalho, investigamos afinidades morfológicas Santo com outras amostras esqueletais Colômbia, contextualizando-as dentro variação morfocraniana existente hoje no planeta. Nossas análises, realizadas um total 2.059 crânios (1.071 masculinos...
Até meados da década de 1990, predominava na literatura especializada que o Novo Mundo teria sido colonizado por três levas distintas, todas com origem no nordeste asiático. Na segunda metade década, dois modelos alternativos começaram a desfrutar grande popularidade entre comunidade acadêmica internacional. O primeiro deles, denominado "Modelo dos Dois Componentes Biológicos Principais", baseado variabilidade craniométrica populações nativas americanas extintas, sugere América colonizada...
Recentemente uma equipe internacional reportou a descoberta dos remanescentes ósseos humanos mais antigos já encontrados na Europa. Um fragmento de mandíbula e um dente isolado foram no nível TE9C Sima del Elefante, Atapuerca, Espanha, associados à típica indústria Olduvaiense. No estudo, os autores afirmam que o hominíneo TE9-1 pode ser classificado como Homo antecessor, sendo resultado evento especiação local ocorrida durante início do Pleistoceno. Aqui nós apresentamos análise...
Recent fossil material found in Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa, was initially described as a new species of genus Homo, namely Homo naledi. The original study this has pointed to close proximity with erectus. More recent investigations have, some extent, confirmed assignment. Here we present phenetic analysis based on dentocranial metric variables through Principal Components Analysis and Cluster these fossils other Plio-Pleistocene hominins. Our results concur that the hominins pertain...
