Ancient DNA analysis has greatly contributed to understanding the population history of several species. In the last 20 years, the field has undergone an important transformation: particularly in our species, thousands of ancient genomes have been analyzed worldwide, providing evidence of population movements and interactions through time. However, several researchers have raised concerns about the way the field is developing and how collaborations are being established. In this work, we describe and evaluate the situation in Latin America, considering both what we have learned about population history through paleogenetics and how it has developed in the region
