“…This is consistent with the fact that the population of Sundaland, including Indonesia, was genetically related to indigenous Australians, Papua New Guineans, and Northeast Asians-including Koreansduring the LGM (Turner, 1990). Meantime, a ship from about 5,700 bc was excavated in Bibong-ri, Gyeongsang-do, Korea (Figure 5C) (Park et al, 2010). This ship had a length of 3.1 m, maximum width of 60 cm, thickness of approximately 2-5 cm, and depth of about 20 cm (Park et al, 2010).…”

It is likely that human voyages during the Stone Age were far more advanced than we think today.…”

Many scholars have sought to uncover the mysteries relating to the origins of the earliest Native Americans. Among many hypotheses, the Beringian Standstill Hypothesis and the Kelp Highway Hypothesis claim that the first Native Americans stayed in Beringia during the Last Glacial Maximum, before migrating to the New World by boat as the climate warmed. Unfortunately, neither hypothesis was devised with tangible supporting evidence, such as archaeological artifacts; as such, both remain controversial. To address this issue, this paper compares and analyzes the genetic data related to the first Native Americans and the data of six archaeological artifacts from the Stone Age. The results show that both hypotheses are correct, but the first Native Americans stayed in Southern Korea rather than Beringia on their journey to America. Genetic and archaeological data converge to show the first Native Americans came from Southern Korea.

Stable Carbon Isotopic Composition in Annual Rings of a Pine Tree (Pinus Densiflora) from Yeongwol, Korea: Possible Application to Climate Study

ABSTRACT. Stable carbon isotope ratios were measured on the alpha-cellulose in tree rings of a pine tree (Pinus densiflora) from Yeongwol, Korea. We developed an annual-resolution δ 13 C series by correcting the measured data for changes in δ 13 C of air to minimize non-climatic influences. To investigate the climatic signal in the δ 13 C series, we performed correlation analysis between δ 13 C and the Cheugugi climate data. The Cheugugi precipitation data were first recorded by King Sejong (1397-1450) of the Joseon Dynasty. However, the longest set of precipitation data available is the one collected in Seoul (1776Seoul ( -1907. Although many studies support the reliability of the Cheugugi data, no previous studies have investigated the potential of the δ 13 C signal in tree rings as paleoclimate proxy using the Cheugugi data. Recent precipitation trends in Yeongwol are quite similar to that of Seoul, and we found significant correlations between the Cheugugi data and the δ 13 C series. We suggest further studies to replicate these results and confirm whether comparing δ 13 C variations in tree rings and Cheugugi data is a useful method of investigating the potential of the δ 13 C signal as a paleoclimate proxy in or near the Korean peninsula.
