A new study has evolved that can trace how the human being might have been in their ancient times revealing its whereabouts to his body structure and the climatic conditions he lived in.
According to the study, an individual’s genome is the oldest to be sequenced from a modern human.
Further the researchers explain that the man, who lived 4,000 years ago, had brown eyes and thick dark hair, and he might as well, prone to baldness. The study also revealed that the ancestors might have migrated from Siberia.
On the study base, the professor of Copenhagen claims that the individual might have been named as inuc in the ancient time and has links to Saqqaq culture.
The team has genetic evidence that Inuk’s metabolism and body mass meant to be to adapt to the cold climate.
Commenting on the Siberian connection the analysis took a year to come to a conclusion that the genome sequence Saqqaq’s closest living relatives were natives in north-eastern Siberia, such as the Chuckchis and the Koryaks.
This suggests that the Saqqaqs migrated from Siberia to the New World approximately 5,500 years ago.
According to Professor Willersle the people did not know how to make the crossing from Siberia to Greenland and Alaska as there was no land bridge between Siberia and Alaska at that time, so they might have crossed either by boat or by walking on ice.
Then if the saqqaq people ever existed, then what happened to them and why they died out also remains a mystery. The study to reveal many such untold questions is on its way.
