“…1). In an earlier paper, we showed a gap in the 14 C record of the Transbaikal that signaled LGM human abandonment at 25,000 cal bp and the arrival of microblades at 23,000 cal bp (Buvit et al, 2015a). Here we expand this to test Graf's (2009a, p. 496;2009b, p. 706) suggestion that Transbaikal microblades may have originated in Hokkaido, Japan.…”

“…Instead, our results help reconcile a few paradoxes of existing models linking LGM human mobility and the origins of microblades. For example, humans occupied the Transbaikal during the LGM (Goebel, 1999(Goebel, , 2002Kuzmin, 2008), but it was also abandoned (Buvit et al, 2015a). Also, if one considers potential lithic technological reorganization, then we may better understand how microblades had conceptive origins in pre-LGM southern Siberia, but did not arrive their until later.…”

The Altai, Yenisei (Graf, 2005(Graf, , 2009b, and Transbaikal (Buvit et al, 2015a) were depopulated during the LGM (Fig. 3, A & B), the migrations of which brought southern Siberian microliths together, perhaps in Mongolia (Fig.…”

Beringia and the global dispersal of modern humans

Until recently, the settlement of the Americas seemed largely divorced from the out-of-Africa dispersal of anatomically modern humans, which began at least 50,000 years ago. Native Americans were thought to represent a small subset of the Eurasian population that migrated to the Western Hemisphere less than 15,000 years ago. Archeological discoveries since 2000 reveal, however, that Homo sapiens occupied the high-latitude region between Northeast Asia and northwest North America (that is, Beringia) before 30,000 years ago and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The settlement of Beringia now appears to have been part of modern human dispersal in northern Eurasia. A 2007 model, the Beringian Standstill Hypothesis, which is based on analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in living people, derives Native Americans from a population that occupied Beringia during the LGM. The model suggests a parallel between ancestral Native Americans and modern human populations that retreated to refugia in other parts of the world during the arid LGM. It is supported by evidence of comparatively mild climates and rich biota in south-central Beringia at this time (30,000-15,000 years ago). These and other developments suggest that the settlement of the Americas may be integrated with the global dispersal of modern humans.
