“…Comparative haplogroup frequency and sequence data were obtained from contemporary populations (Ward et al, 1996;Moraga et al, 2000;Williams et al, 2002;Fuselli et al, 2003;Lewis et al, 2005Lewis et al, , 2007bCabana et al, 2006;Melton et al, 2007) and pre-Columbian populations (Shimada et al, 2004;Shinoda et al, 2006;Lewis et al, 2007a;Kemp et al, 2009;Carnese et al, 2010;Fehren-Schmitz et al, 2010). To compare mtDNA haplogroup frequencies, we employed a correspondence analysis using Statistica 8 (StatSoft, Hamburg, Germany).…”

“…For South America the number of palaeogenetic studies is still small. Only recently there has been an increased interest in studies of pre-Columbian Central Andean populations from the coast (Shimada et al, 2004;Moraga et al, 2005;FehrenSchmitz et al, 2009FehrenSchmitz et al, , 2010 and the highlands (Shinoda et al, 2006;Lewis et al, 2007a;Kemp et al, 2009;Carnese et al, 2010).…”

SummaryThis study examines the reciprocal effects of cultural evolution, and population dynamics in pre-Columbian southern Peru by the analysis of DNA from pre-Columbian populations that lived in the fringe area between the Andean highlands and the Pacific coast. The main objective is to reveal whether the transition from the Middle Horizon (MH: 650-1000 AD) to the Late Intermediate Period (LIP: 1000-1400 AD) was accompanied or influenced by population dynamic processes. Tooth samples from 90 individuals from several archaeological sites, dating to the MH and LIP, in the research area were collected to analyse mitochodrial, and Y-chromosomal genetic markers. Coding region polymorphisms were successfully analysed and replicated for 72 individuals, as were control region sequences for 65 individuals and Ychromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 19 individuals, and these were compared to a large set of ancient and modern indigenous South American populations. The diachronic comparison of the upper valley samples from both time periods reveals no genetic discontinuities accompanying the cultural dynamic processes. A high genetic affinity for other ancient and modern highland populations can be observed, suggesting genetic continuity in the Andean highlands at the latest from the MH. A significant matrilineal differentiation to ancient Peruvian coastal populations can be observed suggesting a differential population history.

“…Finally, haplotype H12 was shared with two contemporary Andean individuals (Afonso Costa et al, 2010;Barbieri et al, 2011) and three individuals of the extant Guahibo population (Vona et al, 2005). Haplotype H5 was not found in the reference database, although it contains a particular combination of mutations (16145A-16156A-16157C) that we previously described for various ancient samples of Pampa Grande located in the province of Salta, in the Andean foothills (Carnese et al, 2010), and that has also been detected for one contemporary individual of the "Criollos" population of the Chaco province of Argentina (Sevini et al, 2013).…”

“…The peculiarities of aDNA can make its study difficult (Pääbo, 1989;Hofreiter et al, 2001;Willerslev & Cooper, 2005), especially for human DNA. These facts can explain, among other factors, why there are relatively few palaeogenetic studies on pre-Colombian Andean populations (Shimada et al, 2004;Moraga et al, 2005;Shinoda et al, 2006;Kemp et al, 2009;Carnese et al, 2010;Fehren-Schmitz et al, 2010a, 2010bCasas-Vargas et al, 2011).…”

SummaryThis palaeogenetic study focused on the analysis of a late prehispanic Argentinean group from the Humahuaca valley, with the main aim of reconstructing its (micro)evolutionary history. The Humahuaca valley, a natural passageway from the eastern plains to the highlands, was the living environment of Andean societies whose cultural but especially biological diversity is still poorly understood. We analyzed the DNA extracted from 39 individuals who populated this upper valley during the Regional Development period (RDP) (between the 11th and 15th centuries CE), to determine their maternal and paternal genetic ancestry. Some mitochondrial and Y-chromosomal haplotypes specific to the Andean region are consistent with an origin in the highlands of Central Andes. On the other hand, a significant genetic affinity with contemporary admixed communities of the Chaco area was detected. Expectedly, recent demographic events, such as the expansion of the Inca Empire or the European colonization, have changed the original mitochondrial gene pool of the ancient Humahuaca Valley community. Finally, we identified a particular geographical organization of the prehispanic populations of Northwestern Argentina. Our results suggest that the communities of the region were divided between two different spheres of interaction, which is consistent with assumptions made by means of craniometric traits.

Objectives The study of the ancient populations of Central Argentina has a crucial importance for our understanding of the evolutionary processes in the Southern Cone of South America, given its geographic position as a crossroads. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the temporal and geographical patterns of genetic variation among the groups that inhabited the current territory of Córdoba Province during the Middle and Late Holocene. Methods We analyzed the mitochondrial haplogroups of 74 individuals and 46 Hypervariable Region I (HVR‐I) sequences, both novel and previously reported, from archeological populations of the eastern Plains and western Sierras regions of the province of Córdoba. The HVR‐I sequences were also compared with other ancient groups from Argentina and with present‐day populations from Central Argentina by pairwise distance analysis and identification of shared haplotypes. Results Significant differences in haplogroup and haplotype distributions between the two geographical regions were found. Sierras showed genetic affinities with certain ancient populations of Northwestern Argentina, while Plains resembled its neighbors from Santiago del Estero Province and the Pampas region. We did not observe genetic differences among the pre 1200 and post 1200 yBP temporal subsets of individuals defined by the emergence of horticulture, considering both geographical samples jointly. Conclusions The observed patterns of geographical heterogeneity could indicate the existence of biologically distinct populations inhabiting the mountainous region and the eastern plains of Córdoba Province in pre‐Hispanic times. Maternal lineages analyses support a scenario of local evolution with great temporal depth in Central Argentina, with continuity until the present.
