Genetic evidence suggests that the Amerind haplogroups A-D coalesce in north-central East Asia (CEA), around Mongolia. How, then, do we have a late Pleistocene coastal migration to the Americas when ancestral populations are centrally-located in the heart of the continent? One answer is offered by bio-geographic and archaeological evidence and an (in)convenient gap in our genetic knowledge of Upper Paleolithic Japan. Japan’s mainland, Honshu, is proposed as the genetic refugia of the first...
Living on the river shore: Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene Human Adaptations in the Uruguay River basin (2015)
This presentation provides new data on investigations on the middle basin of Uruguay River. The most recent research on Northern Uruguay in the K87 Tigre type site has yielded radiocarbon dates with similar ages to Clovis (ca. 13.000 cal yr BP). At a regional level, a settlement pattern emerges where the Paleoamerican residential sites are located on the banks of Uruguay River near the mouth of arroyos, near "rapidos", natural passages (pasos), and small cascades (cachoeiras). This pattern...
