We present genome-wide data from 40 individuals dating to c.16,900 to 550 years ago in northeast Asia. We describe hitherto unknown gene flow and admixture events in the region, revealing a complex population history. While populations east of Lake Baikal remained relatively stable from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age, those from Yakutia and west of Lake Baikal witnessed major population transformations, from the Late Upper Paleolithic to the Neolithic, and during the Bronze Age, respectively. We further locate the Asian ancestors of Paleo-Inuits, using direct genetic evidence. Last, we report the most northeastern ancient occurrence of the plague-related bacterium, Our findings indicate the highly connected and dynamic nature of northeast Asia populations throughout the Holocene.
我们展示了来自东北亚约16900至550年前的40个人的全基因组数据。我们描述了该地区迄今未知的基因流动和混合事件，揭示了复杂的种群历史。从中石器时代到青铜时代，贝加尔湖以东的种群相对稳定，而雅库特和贝加尔湖以西的种群分别在旧石器时代晚期到新石器时代以及青铜时代经历了主要的种群转变。我们利用直接的基因证据进一步确定了古因纽特人的亚洲祖先。最后，我们报告了与鼠疫相关细菌在最东北部的古代出现情况。我们的研究结果表明，全新世期间东北亚种群具有高度的连通性和动态性。
