DNA Analysis Identifies New Population in Central Argentina - Archaeology Magazine

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA—Science Magazine reports that a genetic study conducted by an international team of researchers has identified a population that lived on the plains of central Argentina for some 8,500 years, yet rarely mixed with three other groups known to have lived in the surrounding central Andes, the Amazon, and Patagonia. Scientists including David Reich and Javier Maravall-López of Harvard University and Rodrigo Nores of Argentina…

Ancient DNA uncovers unknown Argentina lineage that has persisted for last 8,500 years

An area called the central Southern Cone in South America, which consists of a large part of Argentina, is known to be one of the last global regions to become inhabited by humans.Despite research indicating migration into the area over 12,000 years ago, there is currently little DNA research that describes the lineages associated with the area. To remedy this problem, a group of DNA researchers conducted a genome-wide study on ancient individua…
