Abstract in brief

  • Researchers analyzed ancient DNA from 49 individuals across Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone, dating back around 9,000 years, revealing insights into Native American ancestry.
  • They found two significant gene flow interactions between North and South America, notably affecting the Central Andes around 4,200 years ago.
  • While the Clovis culture's oldest genome shows ties to early Central and South Americans, later populations appear to have replaced earlier ones, indicating long-term genetic continuity within these regions.
