“…The Khaiyrgas Cave on the middle Lena is one of the earliest locations of post-LGM human occupation in northeast Asia ( 8 , 19 , 20 ). However, origin and legacy of people who settled this part of northeast Asia remain unknown.…”

We present genome-wide data from 40 individuals dating to c.16,900 to 550 years ago in northeast Asia. We describe hitherto unknown gene flow and admixture events in the region, revealing a complex population history. While populations east of Lake Baikal remained relatively stable from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age, those from Yakutia and west of Lake Baikal witnessed major population transformations, from the Late Upper Paleolithic to the Neolithic, and during the Bronze Age, respectively. We further locate the Asian ancestors of Paleo-Inuits, using direct genetic evidence. Last, we report the most northeastern ancient occurrence of the plague-related bacterium, Yersinia pestis. Our findings indicate the highly connected and dynamic nature of northeast Asia populations throughout the Holocene.

“…The arrival of peoples carrying ancestry from East Asia, and their admixture after the LGM with descendants of the ANS lineage ~20-18 kya, led to the replacement of the Yana population and the rise of the AP and Native American lineages. In the archaeological record this is demonstrated by the spread of microblade technology that accompanies the shrinkage of the mammoth habitat area in a northerly direction 10 . This group was in turn largely replaced by Neosiberians in the early and mid-Holocene.…”

“…Lee et al 2018; see OSM 1, references 6-8). The archaeological deposits also contain a diverse range of animal, plant and insect remains, and anthropogenic soils and sediments that enable us to move beyond the human-mediated aspects of the environmental system to address questions within other research fields (Pitulko & Nikolskiy 2012; see OSM 1, references 9-15). Causey et al (2005), for example, used avifauna from multiple archaeological sites in the Aleutian Islands to model the impact of climate change on regional ecosystems.…”
