Аннотация:The Lake Baikal region has been inhabited by modern humans since the Upper Paleolithic and has experienced multiple genetic
transitions and admixture events, though the precise history of its inhabitants over this long period and their relationship with contemporary
populations are still largely unknown. Here we report genome-wide data from 19 Upper Palaeolithic to Early Bronze Age (14.1-3.7 ka) hunter-gatherers from the Lake Baikal and its surrounding regions. An Upper Paleolithic genome shows a direct link with
the First Peoples of the Americas and reveals the continuous presence of Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) ancestry in the gene pool
of populations from this region. We demonstrate the genomic transition between Early Neolithic and Bronze Age Baikal populations
as the result of prolonged admixture between populations related to the local Upper Palaeolithic and East Asian hunter-gatherers
throughout the eighth millennium BP. In addition, we detect genetic interactions with western Eurasian steppe populations in one
Early Bronze Age individual, and reconstruct Yesinia pestis genomes from two other Early Bronze Age individuals. These individuals
lack west Eurasian ancestry and show a non-local signal through strontium isotope analysis but carry Yesinia pestis genomes that
cluster closest with European bacterial strains. Taken together, this multidisciplinary project reveals high human and pathogen mobility
across the Eurasian steppes during the Early Bronze Age.
