"These Venus figurines are found all the way west of this area into Europe."
...obtained a sample from the boy's arm bone, ... compared it with that of present-day populations.
>DNA from the boy's Y chromosome and from the mitochondria (the cell's batteries) were of types found today in a region encompassing Europe, West and South Asia and North Africa, but rare or absent in Central Asia, East Asia and the Americas.But the most puzzling part of this finding was that the boy showed no clear affinities with East Asian populations such as the Chinese, Koreans or Japanese.
>the boy showed no clear affinities with East Asian populations such as the Chinese, Koreans or Japanese.>Today's Native Americans are most closely related to East Asians, so the scientists had to work out how the Mal'ta boy could be related to indigenous Americans, but not to East Asians.>The most likely scenario, they argue, is that a population like the one living in Siberia 24,000 years ago mixed with the ancestors of East Asians at some point after the boy died."Native Americans are composed of the meeting of two populations - an East Asian group and these Mal'ta west Eurasian populations," said Dr Willerslev. However, it remains unclear where this mixing took place.
The research could help explain some long-standing anomalies in the study of Native American origins.
For example, some early American skeletons - such as the 9,000-year-old Kennewick Man from Washington State - bear physical features that, according to some, are typical of Europeans, and unlike those of modern Native American groups or East Asians.
