TL;DR: Analysis of 34 newly recovered ancient genomes from northeastern Siberia reveal at least three major migration events in the late Pleistocene population history of the region, including an initial peopling by a previously unknown Palaeolithic population of ‘Ancient North Siberians’ and a Holocene migration of other East Asian-related peoples, which generated the mosaic genetic make-up of contemporary peoples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the recovery of genome-wide data from three mammoth specimens dating to the Early and Middle Pleistocene subepochs, two of which are more than one million years old.

TL;DR: The analysis indicates that American dogs were not derived from North American wolves but likely originated from a Siberian ancestor, and form a monophyletic lineage that likely originated in Siberia and dispersed into the Americas alongside people.

TL;DR: Injuries to a mammoth carcass indicate that humans penetrated Siberia as far as 72°N 45,000 years ago, which indicates that humans may have spread widely across northern Siberia at least 10 millennia earlier than previously thought.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found evidence of mammoth hunting in the Siberian Arctic between 29,000 and 27,000 14C years BP, and found evidence that humans hunted mammoths sporadically, presumably when ivory was needed for making tools.
