Text 09-15.
Between 13,000 and 12,600
years ago, mem-bers of the
Clovis culture appeared in North
America, where they made and
used distinctive stone-tipped
spears to hunt mammoth, bison
and mastodon. Until recently, all
that archeologists knew about
the Clovis people came from
South American as well.
Up to this point, all scientists
studying the Clovis culture had to
go on where the stone and bone
tools have been found at sites
ranging from Washington State to
Flor-ida, along with many states
in between. By sequencing the
genome of the infant recov-ered
at the Anzick site, the
international team of researchers
gained the most vivid insight yet
about who these people might
actually have been. They
compared the DNA of the Clovis
infant to several different
genomes, including a 24,000
studying their tools, which have
been unearthed at wide-ranging
sites across the country. Now,
DNA analysis of a single human
skeleton-that of a one-year-old
boy buried in a rocky field in
modern-day Montana - has
allowed scientists to link the
Clovis culture to Native
Americans throughout the
Western Hemi-sphere.
Construction crews first
discovered the ancient remains of
an infant in 1968 on private
property owned by the Anzick
family in western Montana.
Dubbed Anzick-1, the one-year-
old boy is the only human
skeleton that has been identified
as a member of the widespread,
sophisticated Ice-Age culture
known as Clovis. Now, a team of
scientists has succeeded in
mapping the infant’s DNA, in the
oldest genome sequence of an
Ameri-can individual ever
performed. According to their
findings, published in the journal
Na-ture in February 2014, the
Clovis people are direct ancestors
of many Native Americans now
living in North America, and can
be linked to many native peoples
in Central and
-year-old sample from a young
man buried on the banks of Lake
Baikal in Siberia, a 7,000-year-old
sample from Spain and a 4,000-
year-old sample from Greenland.
The Clovis DNA showed the most
similarity with that of the
Siberian youth, whom scientists
genetically linked with today’s
Native Ameri-cans late last year.
The new study adds to existing
archeological evidence that
Native American descended from
humans who migrated to North
America from Asia through
Siberia around 15,000 years ago.
They are believed to have made
the voyage across the Bering land
bridge, which connected Asia
with North America during the
last Ice Age. According to
archeologist Michael Waters of
Texas A&M University, a member
of the team who conducted the
new study, the genetic evidence
“strongly suggests that there was
a single migration of people into
the Americas … [T]hese people
were probably the people who
eventually gave rise to Clovis.”
Such evidence casts doubt on
other theories arguing that
Clovis’ ancestors came from
Europe, rather than Asia. Such
hypotheses rely partially on the
fact that the “Clovis points” found
on their tools and weapons are so
similar to the flint tools used by
the Solutrean culture, which
flourished in Spain and France
during the Ice Age.
While Anzick-1 showed the
most genetic similarities with
Native Americans in North
America, the study also revealed
ties with the indigenous peoples
of Central and South America.
The team’s data indicates that
sometime between 13,000 and
24,000 years ago, the same

from Asia split into two lineages:
One gave rise to Clovis and
today’s Native Americans of
North America, and the other
became the ancestors of Central
and South American tribes.
The scientists studying
Anzick-1 have worked closely
with Native American tribes in
Montana, sharing the results of
the study with them and
ensuring that the remains were
treated appropriately. The infant
will be reburied later this year,
on the same property from
which he was unearthed. For
their part, the tribes have shown
little surprise at the scientists’
conclusions. Shane Doyle, a
professor of Native American
History at Montana State
University and co-author on the
study, is also a member of the
