We sequenced the genome of a Neandertal from Chagyrskaya Cave in Altai Mountains, Russia, to 27-fold genomic coverage. show that this was female and she more related Neandertals western Eurasia [Prüfer et al., Science 358, 655–658 (2017); Hajdinjak Nature 555, 652–656 (2018)] than who lived earlier Denisova 505, 43–49 (2014)], which is located about 100 km away. About 12.9% spanned by homozygous regions are between 2.5 10 centiMorgans (cM) long. This consistent with fact Siberian relatively...
The value of dirty DNA Environmental can identify the presence species, even from distant past. Surveying three cave sites in western Europe and southern Siberia, Vernot et al. identified nuclear confirmed that it is close relatives anatomically modern humans—Neanderthal Denisovan individuals. A phylogenetic analysis modeling show sediment samples several layers corresponds to previously studied skeletal remains. These results demonstrate environmental data be applied study population...
Abstract Genomic analyses of Neanderthals have previously provided insights into their population history and relationship to modern humans 1–8 , but the social organization Neanderthal communities remains poorly understood. Here we present genetic data for 13 from two Middle Palaeolithic sites in Altai Mountains southern Siberia: 11 Chagyrskaya Cave 9,10 2 Okladnikov —making this one largest studies a date. We used hybridization capture obtain genome-wide nuclear data, as well mitochondrial...
Significance Neanderthals once inhabited Europe and western Asia, spreading as far east the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia, but geographical origin time of arrival populations remain unresolved. Excavations at Chagyrskaya Cave foothills have yielded 90,000 stone artifacts, numerous bone tools, 74 Neanderthal fossils, animal plant remains recovered from 59,000- to 49,000-year-old deposits. The made distinctive tools that closely resemble Micoquian artifacts eastern Europe, whereas other...
The Silk Road was an important trade route that channeled goods, people, plants, animals, and ideas across the continental interior of Eurasia, fueling biotic exchange key social developments Old World. Nestled between Pamir Alay ranges at a baseline elevation nearly 3000m, Kyrgyzstan's high Valley forms wide geographic corridor comprised one primary channels ancient Road. Recent archaeological survey reveals millennia-long history pastoral occupation from early Bronze Age through Medieval...
Neanderthals are known primarily from their habitation of Western Eurasia, but they also populated large expanses Northern Asia for thousands years. Owing to a sparse archaeological record, relatively little is about these eastern Neanderthal populations. Unlike in western range, there limited zooarchaeological and paleobotanical studies that inform us the nature subsistence. Here, we perform combined analysis carbon nitrogen stable isotopes on bone collagen microbotanical remains dental...
Studies of ancient DNA have been hindered by the preciousness remains, small quantities undamaged accessible, and limitations associated with conventional PCR amplification. In these studies, we developed applied a genomewide adapter-mediated emulsion amplification protocol for mammalian samples estimated to be between 45,000 69,000 yr old. Using 454 Life Sciences (Roche) Illumina sequencing (formerly Solexa sequencing) technologies, examined over 100 megabases from amplified extracts,...
Abstract When they are occasionally found in Middle Palaeolithic Neanderthal settlements, lithic weapons heads large and do not differ size, shaping or type from those used for activities other than hunting, such as plant gathering butchery. The presence a same assemblage of various types armatures, some which microlithic designed this purpose, has only been documented Modern Humans sites. Recent studies show that light projectile points, were to become the structuring element Upper...
Abstract We sequenced the genome of a Neandertal from Chagyrskaya Cave in Altai Mountains, Russia, to 27-fold genomic coverage. estimate that this individual lived ~80,000 years ago and was more closely related Neandertals western Eurasia (1,2) than who earlier Denisova (3), which is located about 100 km away. About 12.9% spanned by homozygous regions are between 2.5 10 centiMorgans (cM) long. This consistent with Siberian relatively isolated populations less 60 individuals. In contrast,...
The Obi-Rakhmat Grotto is one of the key Paleolithic sites in Central Asia. Archaeological excavations have revealed 22 strata containing archaeological materials. Lithic assemblages from all cultural layers display features similar to both late Middle blade industries and early Upper complexes Southwest Asia Siberian Altai Mountains; this suggests a gradual Middle-to-Upper transition occurred western Hominid remains found at (layer 16) show mixture archaic modern traits. Different...
The analysis of the Obi-Rakhmat archaeological materials provides us with data suggesting a process gradual transition from Middle to Upper Paleolithic occurring in western Central Asia. chronometric dates available for site indicate that developmental processes described above occurred prior 50,000 years ago. This new adaptation was based on Levallois technology aimed at production laminar blanks. industry demonstrates technical and typological features similar those noted Late Mousterian...
Intensive research on the Mesolithic of western Central Asia began in mid twentieth century, when discovery key sites allowed for formulation main regional cultural-chronological schemes (Figure 1).
