The study of the DNA sequence of the ancient people of America has renewed controversy about one of the largest migrations in the history of mankind, namely about the settlement of North and South America. In the period from about 28 to 11 thousand years ago, the ancient people moved between North-Eastern Siberia and North America, on the now flooded land area called Beringia. This name was first proposed in 1937 by a Swedish botanist and geographer Eric Hulten. However, it is very difficult for the data that scientists have at the moment to judge the number of migrations that have occurred over such a long period.
The full genome from the skull of one of the babies, which were discovered in 2013 in the Tanana River Basin, central Alaska, part of ancient Beringia and dated 11.5 thousand years, indicates that a certain part of ancient people lived for thousands of years in Beringia. While other migrant groups conquered North and South America. A team of scientists from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and the University of Cambridge, UK, led by geneticist Eske Willerslev, have repeatedly sequenced DNA to get a virtually complete copy of the genome. After that, they compared it with the genome of modern American Indians and people across Eurasia and America, as well as with the DNA of other ancient remains.
