Western China's mysterious mummies were local descendants of ice age ancestors
The Tarim Basin mummies have been a mystery ever since European explorers discovered them in north western China in the early 20th century. They were tall, wore wool felt hats and leather booties, and some had fair hair—all suggesting they were strangers from a strange land. But a new study of the mummies' DNA finds they were locals with deep roots in the region. Indeed, they appear to be relics of an ancient population that disappeared in Eurasia after the last ice age—one that was ancestral to Indigenous peoples living in Siberia and the Americas today.
