BACKGROUND North and South America were the last continents populated by modern
humans. The timing of their arrival, the routes they took, their homeland of origin, and how …

The most recent deglaciation of the North American Ice Sheet Complex (NAISC: comprising
the Innuitian, Cordilleran, and Laurentide ice sheets) offers a broad perspective from which …

Advances in the isolation and sequencing of ancient DNA have begun to reveal the
population histories of both people and dogs. Over the last 10,000 y, the genetic signatures …

" Sometime before 15,000 years ago, a band of hunter-gatherers arrived in Northeast Asia.
They continued east, becoming the first people to set foot in the Americas. They soon found …

The Clovis-first model for the peopling of the Americas by∼ 13.4 ka has long invoked the Ice-

Forty years ago, Knut Fladmark (1979) argued that the Pacific Coast offered a viable
alternative to the ice-free corridor model for the initial peopling of the Americas—one of the …

Founding populations of the first Americans likely occupied parts of Beringia during the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM). The timing, pathways, and modes of their southward transit remain …

Multi-proxy palaeoecological analyses of lake cores from two sites on northern Vancouver
Island reveal previously undocumented non-arboreal environments in the region during the …

Abstract The timing of Laurentide Ice Sheet deglaciation along its southwestern margin
controlled the evolution of large glacial lakes and has implications for human migration into …

The study of the peopling of the Americas has been transformed in the past decade by
astonishing progress in paleogenomic research. Ancient genomes now show that Native …
