Could African Eve Have Admired the Pacifi c Sunrise?
One of the key problems of modern science is the origin of anatomically modern humans and their dispersal across the planet. Skeletal, archaeological, and genetic studies suggest that early modern man originated in Africa no later than 200–150 ka BP and possibly earlier, given the 300 ka old fossils from Jebel Irhoud, Morocco. Having departed from Africa, members of the H. sapiens species began to populate Eurasia 70–60 ka BP. Some experts argue …
Could African Eve Have Admired the Pacific Sunrise
Одной из фундаментальных задач современной науки является решение проблемы происхождения человека современного типа и его расселения по планете. Результаты антропологических, археологических и генетических исследований позволяют утверждать, что ранний человек современного типа сформировался в Африке не позднее 200-150 тыс. л.н., а может быть, и ранее, если учитывать окаменелости из Джебель Ирхуд в Марокко, древность которых 300 тыс. лет. Покинув …
The Dispersal of Denisovans and Neanderthals in China
The initial peopling of China by H. erectus occurred ~1.7 Ma BP, maybe even earlier. Despite climatic changes in the Pleistocene, ecological conditions for the permanent occupation of this territory by members of that taxon remained favorable, causing their continuous morphological and genetic evolution in situ along the line leading to H. sapiens . As a result, between 120–40 ka BP, they evolved convergently into early anatomically modern humans…
Biface Trimming Elements as Indicators of Tool Rejuvenation Intensity
Biface trimming elements represent an important diagnostic source of information for studying various stages of bifacial tool production. In Middle Paleolithic assemblages, they often constitute a significant portion of the sample, making them particularly useful for identifying specific technological operations such as primary reduction and shaping of bifacial preforms, edge formation and retouching, working edge rejuvenation, and modification o…
Biface Trimming Elements as Indicators of Tool Rejuvenation Intensity
Бифасиальные технические сколы, или сколы утончения бифасов (bifacial thinning flakes), представляют собой важный диагностический источник информации для изучения различных стадий бифасиального производства. В среднепалеолитических каменных коллекциях они нередко составляют значительную часть археологического материала, что позволяет использовать их для определения конкретных технологических операций, включая первичную обработку и фасоннаж бифаси…
The Origin of Anatomically Modern Humans in China
Результаты исследований генетиков, антропологов и археологов, указывающие на то, что ранний человек современного типа сформировался 200-150 тыс. л.н. в Африке, не вызывают сомнения. Однако открытые в последние 40-50 лет в Китае и Юго-Восточной Азии антропологические материалы с хорошо выраженными морфологическими признаками человека современного типа древностью 40-120 тыс. лет позволяют утверждать, что данный таксон мог сформироваться конвергентн…
The Peopling of Mongolia by Homo sapiens denisovan
Статья продолжает серию публикаций в предыдущих номерах журнала, посвященных расселению H. s. denisovan на территории Ирана, Таджикистана и Узбекистана. Около 400 тыс. л.н. от общей предковой основы H. heidelbergensis в Леванте отделились две крупные популяции. Одна из них мигрировала в Европу, где в процессе смешения с коренным населением 200-150 тыс. л.н. сформировался новый таксон H. s. neanderthalensis. Другая, пройдя через Иранское нагорье, …
The Peopling of Uzbekistan by Homo sapiens denisovan
Эта статья продолжает серию опубликованных в двух последних номерах журнала работ, посвященных формированию на территории Леванта в результате разделения ок. 400 тыс. л.н. предкового вида H. heidelbergensis двух новых – неандертальцев и денисовцев. Одна часть гейдельбергцев мигрировала в Европу, где 200–150 тыс. л.н. сформировался новый таксон – H. s. neanderthalensis, а другая, двигаясь через Иранское нагорье, стала расселяться 400-350 тыс. л.н.…
The Dispersal of Denisovans and Neanderthals in China
Первоначальное заселение территории Китая H. erectus произошло ок. 1,7 млн л.н., а может быть, и раньше. Несмотря на изменения климата в плейстоцене, здесь сохранялись благоприятные экологические условия для постоянного проживания представителей этого таксона, что способствовало их непрерывному морфологическому и генетическому развитию по сапиентной линии. В результате в хронологическом интервале 120-40 тыс. л.н. конвергентно на предковой основе …
The Peopling of Tajikistan by Homo sapiens denisovan
The study published in the previous issue of this journal addressed the dispersal and early morphological and genetic evolution of H. s. denisovan in Iran, following the split of the ancestral taxon H. heidelbergensis into two taxa, Neanderthals and Denisovans, in the Levant ~400 ka BP. The latter taxon was first described owing to the sequencing of DNA extracted from the fragment of the fifth finger phalanx from layer 11.2 of Denisova Cave, Alta…
The Peopling of Uzbekistan by Homo sapiens Denisovan
This study continues a series of articles published in two last issues of this journal, exploring the split of the ancestral species H. heidelbergensis ~400 ka BP in the Levant and the subsequent origin of two filial species, Neanderthals and Denisovans. Certain members of H. heidelbergensis had moved to Europe, where a new taxon, H. s. neanderthalensis, emerged 200–150 ka BP. Others had migrated to Central Asia via Iran ~400–350 ka BP. Their ass…
Industry of Okladnikov Cave Layer 3 in the Context of the Sibiryachikha Complexes of the Altai Mountains
This paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of lithics from layer 3 of Okladnikov Cave and their relevance to the Sibiryachikha industries of the Altai Mountains. Attribute analysis has shown that the industry of layer 3 demonstrates technological and typological similarities with the Sibiryachikha industries. These include radial flaking with an offset technological axis, a predominance of convergent side-scrapers, and a series o…
The Peopling of Mongolia by Homo sapiens denisovan
The article continues a series of publications in this journal, addressing the peopling of Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan by H. s. denisovan. Around 400 ka BP, two large populations branched off from the ancestral taxon H. heidelbergensis in the Levant. One of them migrated to Europe, where its hybridization with natives gave rise to a new taxon H. s. neanderthalensis 200–150 ka BP. The other, having passed through the Iranian Highland, settled…
The Origin of Anatomically Modern Humans in China
Genetic, skeletal, and archaeological studies alike demonstrate that anatomically modern humans originated ~200–150 ka BP in Africa, and this finding cannot be questioned. Over the last 4–5 decades, however, human fossils with undoubtedly modern skeletal markers, dating to 120–40 ka BP, have been discovered in China and Southeast Asia, suggesting that those territories, too, may have been part of the region where H. s. sapiens arose convergently …
Who Were the Chagyrskaya Neanderthals? The Possibility of Their Dispersal Across Central Asia and Southern Siberia
В предшествующем номере опубликована статья, в которой я на основании археологических материалов, полученных при исследовании палеолитических стоянок на Алтае и прежде всего в Денисовой пещере, а также данных о времени анатомического и генетического формирования неандертальского таксона в Европе прихожу к выводу о необоснованности выделения на основе генетических исследований алтайских неандертальцев, которые, по мнению исследователей, мигрировал…
The Origin of H. s. denisovan and Their Dispersal Across Iran
До начала XXI в. антропологами были выделены в конце среднего — первой половине верхнего плейстоцена два таксона: люди современного типа в Африке и неандертальцы с мустьерской индустрией в Евразии. Поэтому все палеолитические стоянки в Евразии, относящиеся к этому времени, связывали с мустье и неандертальцами. В 2010 г. в результате секвенирования мтДНК из фрагмента ногтевой фаланги пальца, обнаруженного в Денисовой пещере, удалось установить, чт…

В статье представлены результаты комплексного анализа археологической коллекции слоя 3 пещеры Окладникова и ее интерпретация в контексте сибирячихинских индустрий Горного Алтая. Исследование с использованием атрибутивного подхода выявило в каменной индустрии слоя 3 технико-типологические черты, характерные для сибирячихинских комплексов: ориентация первичного расщепления на изготовление отщепов со смещенной осью скалывания в рамках радиального ме…
The Peopling of Tajikistan by Homo sapiens denisovan
В статье, опубликованной в предыдущем номере, рассматривались проблемы расселения и начального этапа процесса морфологического и генетического формирования на территории Ирана H. s. denisovan, появившегося в результате разделения в Леванте ок. 400 тыс. л.н. предковой формы H. heidelbergensis на два таксона — неандертальцев и денисовцев. Сформировавшийся генетически и морфологически денисовский таксон удалось выделить благодаря секвенированию ДНК …
Origin of Neanderthals. Neanderthals of the Altai
Some 3 mln years ago, the genus Homo originated from australopithecines in Africa. In the Pleistocene, in the course of subsequent evolutionary processes such as natural selection, hybridization, and adaptation to changing environments, in the 200–100 ka BP interval, anatomically modern humans emerged in Africa, H. sapiens neanderthalensis in Europe, and H. sapiens denisovan in Central and Northern Asia. The origin of these taxa has been discusse…
Origin of Neanderthals. Neanderthals of the Altai
Около 3 млн л.н. на предковой основе австралопитеков в Африке сформировался род Homo. В ходе дальнейших эволюционных процессов, естественного отбора, гибридизации, адаптации к меняющимся природно-климатическим условиям в плейстоцене в хронологическом интервале 200-100 тыс. л.н. в Африке сформировались ранние люди современного типа, в Европе — H. sapiens neanderthalensis, в Центральной и Северной Азии — H. sapiens denisovan. Происхождению этих так…
The Origin of H. s. denisovan and Their Dispersal Across Iran
Before the early 2000s, anthropologists spoke of two taxa existing in the Late Middle and Early Upper Pleistocene: anatomically modern humans in Africa and Neanderthals associated with the Mousterian industry in Eurasia. Therefore, all Eurasian Paleolithic sites dating to that period were believed to be Mousterian and were associated with Neanderthals. In 2010, owing to the sequencing of mtDNA from a fragment of the distal phalanx of the hand fou…
Who Were the Chagyrskaya Neanderthals? The Possibility of Their Dispersal Across Central Asia and Southern Siberia
My article in the previous issue, based on findings of archaeological excavations of Paleolithic sites in the Altai, primarily in Denisova Cave, as well as facts concerning the time of origin of Neanderthal anatomy and genetics in Europe, challenged the view, based on the genetic analysis of the Altaian Neanderthals, that they had migrated to the Altai before 175 ka BP and occupied Denisova Cave by turns with Denisovans. In fact, the Neanderthal …

Findings from the Paleolithic Studies in Siberia
Длительное время считалось, что Сибирь с суровыми природно-климатическими условиями сравнительно поздно была заселена человеком, а материальная и духовная культура населяющих ее гоминин отличалась примитивизмом. Открытия последних 30-40 лет благодаря широким полевым исследованиям, проводившимся археологами Сибири, особенно сотрудниками Института археологии и этнографии СО РАН, при участии представителей естественно-научных дисциплин — геологов, г…
Three Scenarios of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition
Specifi c features of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition in Eastern Central Asia and the Near East are discussed. It is concluded that the processes in these territories, as in Northern Asia, had much in common according to a number of important technological and typological characteristics, making it possible to speak of a single Eurasian scenario. Common features include primary reduction techniques, the emergence of prismatic and narro…

The Middle Paleolithic industry of the Sibiryachikha facies is described on the basis of two stratified sites in the Altai – Okladnikov Cave (formerly Sibiryachikha) and Chagyrskaya Cave. Stratigrtraphic, environmental, and chronological aspects are discussed. The structure of two cave sites is analyzed. Petrographic properties of raw material are described and the typology and technology of the lithic industry are compared with those of other lo…
Early Upper Paleolithic Stone Tool Technologies of Northern Mongolia
Based on regularly retouched tools recovered from the Early Upper Paleolithic Tolbor-4 and Tolbor-15 sites in the Khangai Mountains of northern Mongolia, we reconstruct the development of cores from large bidirectional forms for the production of elongated blades to flat unidirectional and orthogonal nuclei. Blanks also became progressively smaller, while the toolkit remained virtually unchanged. Two detectable principal technological trends incl…
A Paleolithic Bracelet From Denisova Cave
The collection of personal adornments and artifacts suggestive of symbolic behavior from the Early Upper Paleolithic deposits of Denisova Cave, Altai, is one of the earliest and the most representative of the Upper Paleolithic assemblages from Northern and Central Asia. Especially important is a fragment of a bracelet of dark-green chloritolite, found near the entrance to the eastern gallery of the cave in the upper part of stratum 11. The estima…

The Upper Paleolithic site of Dodekatym-2 in Uzbekistan
Upper Paleolithic sites in the northern part of Western Central Asia are few, and their distribution is irregular. Most have no cultural layer. The scarcity of sites and fi nds is usually explained by depopulation in the 40–25 ka BP time range. Results of fi eld work conducted by expeditions from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS in Uzbekistan since 1998 suggest that even an arid climate did not prevent humans from settling in t…
Who Were the Denisovans
We provide a comprehensive summary of data relating to the origin, chronology, and culture of the Denisovans— a separate hominin population, fi rst described in 2010 on the basis of aDNA extracted from fossils found in Denisova Cave, in the northwestern part of the Russian Altai. We cite the results of morphological and genomic studies of the teeth and postcranial bones of those hominins. On the basis of a large series of optical and radiocarbon …
The Northern Dispersal Route
Archaeological evidence indicates that the original settlement of the Altai occurred by ∼800 ka. The next major wave of hominin migration occurred by approximately 500-400 ka, followed by another one at ∼300 ka. Archaeological findings indicate a continuous evolution of lithic industries between 80 and 10 ka across the Altai. At about 55-45 ka, a small group of Neanderthals appeared in the Altai, producing various forms of lithics at places such …
Lithic Raw Material Exploitation in the Sibiryachikha Facies, the Middle Paleolithic of Altai
The assemblages of the Sibiryachikha facies of the Middle Paleolithic stand out in terms of their production technology and typology among the other contemporary lithic assemblages of Gorny Altai. In this study, the role of raw materials in the development of characteristic features of the Okladnikov and Chagyrskaya caves' industries is determined. The proximity of sources of the raw material used has been established, and the main principles of …

Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia
Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual is from a group that shares a common origin with Neanderthals. This population was not involved in the putative gene flow from Neanderthals into Eurasians; however, the data suggest that it contributed 4–6% of its genetic material to the genomes of present-day Melanesians…
