Beaudoin,Cynthia Zutter,Nicolaj K. Larsen,Nicolaj K. Larsen,Ben A. Potter,Rasmus Nielsen,Rasmus Nielsen,Rebecca A. Rainville,Ludovic Orlando,David J. Meltzer,David J. Meltzer,Kurt H.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that the first Americans, whether Clovis or earlier groups in unglaciated North America before 12.6 cal. kyr bp, are unlikely to have travelled by this route into the Americas, however, later groups may have used this north–south passageway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terminal Pleistocene Alaskan genome reveals first founding population of Native Americans
J. Víctor Moreno-Mayar,Ben A. Potter,Lasse Vinner,Matthias Steinrücken,Simon Rasmussen,Jonathan Terhorst,Jack Kamm,Anders Albrechtsen,Anna-Sapfo Malaspinas,Martin Sikora,Joshua D. Reuther,Joel D. Irish,Ripan S. Malhi,Ludovic Orlando,Yun S. Song,Rasmus Nielsen,David J. Meltzer,Eske Willerslev +17 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the far-northern North American presence of northern Native Americans is from a back migration that replaced or absorbed the initial founding population of Ancient Beringians, and support a long-term genetic structure in ancestral Native Americans, consistent with the Beringian ‘standstill model’.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current evidence allows multiple models for the peopling of the Americas
Ben A. Potter,James F. Baichtal,Alwynne B. Beaudoin,Lars Fehren-Schmitz,C. Vance Haynes,Vance T. Holliday,Charles E. Holmes,John W. Ives,Robert L. Kelly,Bastien Llamas,Ripan S. Malhi,D. Shane Miller,David Reich,David Reich,David Reich,Joshua D. Reuther,Stephan Schiffels,Todd A. Surovell +17 more
TL;DR: Current genetic, archeological, and paleoecological evidence indicates that ancestral Native American population expansion occurred after 16,000 years ago, consistent with the archeological record, and largely consistent with either an inland (ice-free corridor) or Pacific coastal routes, but neither can be rejected at present.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A comprehensive model for the Holocene peopling events of Chukotka and North America is developed, and it is shown that Na-Dene-speaking peoples, people of the Aleutian Islands, and Yup’ik and Inuit across the Arctic region all share ancestry from a single Palaeo-Eskimo-related Siberian source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early colonization of Beringia and Northern North America: Chronology, routes, and adaptive strategies
Ben A. Potter,Joshua D. Reuther,Vance T. Holliday,Charles E. Holmes,D. Shane Miller,Nicholas Schmuck +5 more
TL;DR: A review of the geological, paleoecological, and archaeological record for Eastern Beringia and adjacent areas as discussed by the authors indicates that the interior route remains a viable hypothesis, available by at least 13,560 and possibly 14,900 years ago.
