Archaeologists find 6,000-year-old skeletons from Colombia with ancient DNA which could rewrite human history
ARCHAEOLOGISTS have found 6,000-year-old skeletons from Colombia with ancient DNA that could rewrite human history.
The incredible remains belonging to hunter-gatherers at the ancient preceramic site of Checua don’t have DNA that matches any known Indigenous population in the region today.
Their bombshell genetic signature has revealed a distinct – and extinct – lineage.
This could have descended all the way from the earliest humans to reach South America.
This lineage diverged early on and remained genetically isolated for thousands of years.
Researchers have managed to reconstruct a rare genetic timeline by anaylysing DNA from 21 people who lived in the Bogota Altiplano between roughly 6,000 to 500 years ago.
Extracted from bones and teeth, the DNA samples showed that the oldest people at Checua carried a distinctive ancestral signature.
This has completely disappeared from the modern gene pool.
Kim-Louise Krettek, lead author and a PhD student at the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution in Germany said: “This area is key to understanding how the Americas were populated.
“It was the land bridge between North and South America and the meeting point of three major cultural regions: Mesoamerica, Amazonia, and the Andes.”
Early people weren’t related to other ancient groups in South America genetically.
They also didn’t share ancestry with early North American populations.
Krettek added: “Our results show that the Checua individuals derive from the earliest population that spread and differentiated across South America very rapidly.
“We couldn’t find descendants of these early hunter-gatherers of the Colombian high plains, the genes were not passed on.
“That means in the area around Bogotá there was a complete exchange of the population.”
Roughly a whopping 2,000 years ago, the genetic landscape of the Bogota highlands shifted.
The distinctive lineage discovered in the earliest Checua remains had vanished and replaced by a new population.
Their DNA bear close similarity to the ancient Panamanians and modern Chibchan-speaking groups in Costa Rica and Panama.
Co-author and researcher at Universidad Nacional de Colombia Andrea Casas-Vargas explained how the bizarre disappearance of the original population’s genetic traces is rare in South America.
She said: “Up to now, strong genetic continuity has been observed in the population of the Andes and the southern cone of South America over long time periods and cultural changes.”
As new arrivals came to the Bogota highlands, the population changed significantly as time went on.
But the shift didn’t come with any signs of war or invasion, nor violence, according to the archeologists.
The change may have just occurred gradually through migration, cultural exchange, or intermarriage.
Therefore, the Checua people’s unique DNA faded – and eventually vanished.
The unbelievable discovery is the first example of Colombia looking at ancient DNA – but experts say it’s just the beginning.
Surrounding regions like western Columbia, Venezuela, and Ecuador have never received genetical analysation.
Krettek said: “Ancient DNA from those areas will be crucial in understanding how humans migrated into South America.”
Illegal immigrants hide on coach taking pupils to France on school trip – as stowaway journeys surge
A PAIR of illegal immigrants targeted a coach on a school trip to France to get across the English Channel – after a surge in stowaway journeys.
The two of asylum seekers – one thought to be a child – climbed into the luggage compartment as the bus brought back 50 children from a day trip to Bolougne on Friday.
They remained hidden from Border Force officials at Dover and remained in the storage section of the coach until it stopped at Birchanger Green Welcome Break service station on the M11.
Year 7 pupils and teachers are said to have heard noises from the bottom of the coach, prompting the driver to pull over and stop.
Two illegal immigrants, including a child, are said to have emerged from the vehicle and remained at the service station until they were detained by police shortly before 10pm.
The students, from a small secondary school in Cambridgeshire, were taken inside the halt and told the coach had suffered an engine failure.
It took an hour for the children to be allowed back on the coach so the journey home could resume.
A parent of one of the children on board said: “The children were really tired because they had been up at 3am, and they were meant to get home at 10pm.
“Because of the hold-up to arrest the migrants, they didn’t get back until well after 11pm.
“It’s a total shock because they could have been any two people.
“Thankfully they did not try to do anything, but I feel uneasy knowing they were close to my child.”
An Essex Police spokeswoman confirmed: “We were alerted to concerns for the welfare of two people discovered under a bus on the M11 near Stansted on Friday evening.
“Officers were called out to a rest stop shortly before 10pm.
“One person has been taken into police custody, while one is being referred to social care.”
It comes after we revealed 13 migrants targeted a lorry delivering supplies to a Sainsbury’s distribution centre last week.
Figures show there were 5,874 detections of illegal immigrants at ports on the continent, including Calais, Dunkirk and the Channel Tunnel in Coquelles.
It is a rise of 22 per cent compared with 4,794 in 2023.
While migrants crossing the Channel are easily recorded, lorry stowaways may reach the UK undetected.
Many go on to obtain illegal cash-in-hand work or claim asylum and be housed in a hotel.
Last night the Home Office said it was investigating how the pair evaded border control.
A spokeswoman said: “We are relentless in our pursuit of people-smuggling gangs and stand ready to respond to all methods, including coaches and other clandestine routes, using a wide range of techniques and technology to protect our border security.”

Thomas Tuchel blasts England fans claiming vile chants about Keir Starmer are ‘not acceptable’
ENGLAND boss Thomas Tuchel told Three Lions fans vile chants about PM Sir Keir Starmer were “not acceptable”.
Some of the 7,000 travelling supporters at yesterday’s World Cup qualifier against Andorra called Sir Keir a “c***” and “w***er”.
Tuchel praised the overall support in the 1-0 win against the tiny state, even though they booed his team at half-time.
He said after full-time in Spain: “Booing is OK.
“The support was amazing. Incredible.
“They created a fantastic atmosphere.
“They were underwhelmed with the way we performed.
“It’s not that we can blame them for that.
“I didn’t hear any abusive songs or chants.
“But if it happened, of course, it’s not acceptable.”
It’s thought that Declan Rice is being rested with a view to starting against Senegal on Tuesday evening instead.
Other unusual choices appear to include Reece James starting at left-back and Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones being deployed as a make-shift right-back.
