  • Ancient Fennoscandian Genomes Reveal Origin and Spread of Siberian Ancestry in Europe
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07483-5 OPEN Ancient Fennoscandian genomes reveal origin and spread of Siberian ancestry in Europe Thiseas C. Lamnidis1, Kerttu Majander1,2,3, Choongwon Jeong1,4, Elina Salmela 1,3, Anna Wessman5, Vyacheslav Moiseyev6, Valery Khartanovich6, Oleg Balanovsky7,8,9, Matthias Ongyerth10, Antje Weihmann10, Antti Sajantila11, Janet Kelso 10, Svante Pääbo10, Päivi Onkamo3,12, Wolfgang Haak1, Johannes Krause 1 & Stephan Schiffels 1 1234567890():,; European population history has been shaped by migrations of people, and their subsequent admixture. Recently, ancient DNA has brought new insights into European migration events linked to the advent of agriculture, and possibly to the spread of Indo-European languages. However, little is known about the ancient population history of north-eastern Europe, in particular about populations speaking Uralic languages, such as Finns and Saami. Here we analyse ancient genomic data from 11 individuals from Finland and north-western Russia. We show that the genetic makeup of northern Europe was shaped by migrations from Siberia that began at least 3500 years ago. This Siberian ancestry was subsequently admixed into many modern populations in the region, particularly into populations speaking Uralic languages today. Additionally, we show that ancestors of modern Saami inhabited a larger territory during the Iron Age, which adds to the historical and linguistic information about the population history of Finland. 1 Department of Archaeogenetics, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, 07745 Jena, Germany. 2 Institute for Archaeological Sciences, Archaeo- and Palaeogenetics, University of Tübingen, 72070 Tübingen, Germany. 3 Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, PL 56 (Viikinkaari 9), 00014 Helsinki, Finland.

The In- terior Minister N.V. Pleve instructed Konstantin Starinkevich, a Tomsk gover- nor, who supervised the Altai area, to “provide more details about the situa- tion and adopt the most radical measures to eliminate the troubles if they ex- ist.”3 The authorities felt relieved when Starinkevich reported that the whole incident was just a religious gathering of Altaian natives who suddenly “went crazy” expecting a messiah, chief (khan) Oirot, who was to return ancient pros- perous life.

European admixture in Chinchorro DNA Robert Smith Abstract It is widely held that, except for migrations from Beringia or Siberia, there was no contact between the Old World and the New World prior to the colonization of North America by the Norse in the late 10th century AD. Analyses of 23 ancient American DNA samples reveal, however, the presence of European admixture in a sample taken from a Chinchorro mummy of northern Chile dated to 3972–3806 BC. This discovery implies a more complex history of the peopling of the Americas than previously accepted. Introduction Mainstream accounts of the peopling of the Americas stipulate that there was a large migration of people from Beringia during the late Pleistocene, and that modern Amerindians derive most of their ancestry from these migrants. It is commonly believed that these migrants were the originators of the Clovis material culture, and it was long asserted that the appearance of these migrants south of Beringia did not predate the earliest datings of Clovis artifacts, around 13,200 years ago. The accumulation of evidence for earlier American settlements has forced mainstream scholars to abandon the latter position, however. Mainstream accounts also acknowledge two later migrations from Siberia, responsible for bringing speakers of Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut languages to the Americas.

  • INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS and UNREPORTED STRUGGLES CONFLICT and PEACE---Interior
    ISBN 978-0-692-88605-2 Structural Violence Against Indigenous Peoples: Russian Federation1 Ulia Gosart Introduction Traditionally, the idea of violence evokes the use of brutal force against one or many individuals. Often, however, brutal conduct originates far from the actual site of violence. Domestic and sexual violence, violence among and against youth, and violence upon oneself are usually consequences of other factors. Scholars refer to these indirect factors as structural violence. They examine the effects of institutional bureaucracies and normative institutions that sustain the systematic denial of rights to citizens.2 Historical records indicate that structural violence is an effective form of long-term population oppression by means of laws and societal norms. Structural violence supports privileged positions among the elite, who use it to prioritize their own political agendas and sustaining ideologies. Its effects are manifested in disparities in political opportunities and social standing. 1. I am very grateful to Elsa Stamatopoulou for encouraging me to focus on this subject matter by providing an opportunity to share the findings from my research with Columbia University students and the Columbia University community, and for inviting me to contribute to this publication. I am also thankful to my great colleagues Dan Haley and Pamela Grieman for their help in editing this work. Finally, I would like to thank the UCLA American Indian Studies Center for supporting my research. 2. The following studies informed a conception of structural violence used in this work: for studies of violent conduct from the point of resource mobilization, see D. Gupta, Understanding Terrorism and Political Violence: The Life Cycle of Birth, Growth, Transformation, and Demise (New York: Routledge, 2008), 25–7; for an investigation of the connections between emotions and political violence, see R.

  • Altai Sacred Sites
    Sacred Sites and Objects of the Peoples of Altai Republic, Russia Chagat Almashev, Director, Foundation for Sustainable Development of Altai Maya Erlenbayeva, Manager, Foundation for Sustainable Development of Altai English translation by Jennifer Castner Sacred (sacred and cult) sites are areas (or territories) of land and water that have a specific spiritual meaning for people and societies. As a demonstration of humanity's specific worship of nature as well as a source of inspiration and spiritual values, sacred sites were recognized by people thousands of years ago, much earlier than the rise of modern environmental conservation movement. Migrating through a large continental land area, Central Asian ethnic groups lived in a variety of landscapes, learning to survive in those natural areas and conditions. They learned to identify particularly important areas, for example, sacred sites and sites with electromagnetic (energetic) properties, adapting to and adapting the area to their way of life and religious, spiritual, and moral values. If one considers the toponymy of the many energetic sites in Inner Asia (Altai, Sayan Mountains, Tibet, and Mongolia) and Central Asia (Tian-Shan), one can observe the close cultural connections among Turkic-Mongolian peoples. For example, mineral springs with healing properties are known in Altaian as arzhans (or arashans). In Altai Republic, the Manjylu Arzhan (near the Ulagan Rayon village of Balyktuyul’) is a particularly revered and sacred place for native Altaians and Telengits. In Kyrgyzstan there is a sacred site with healing springs of the same name (Mandzhyly-Ata) near the village of Bokonbaevo in Tonskiy Rayon. The term “manjylu” has an interesting etymology.
