Isolated group in Colombia found with no modern human relatives

There were many kinds of humans.

Deep in Colombia’s highlands, scientists have uncovered a mysterious ancient population unlike any group known today. Around 6,000 years ago, this population lived near the Bogotá Altiplano, a high plateau that served as a critical corridor for early migration between North and South America.

Are humanoid groups still landing on Earth?

This discovery is remarkable because their genetic makeup does not match any known modern human populations. [Like the Basque in Spain?]

For decades, researchers believed the peopling of South America followed two main genetic lineages, but this newly identified group represents an entirely unknown branch of humanity.

Their DNA reveals a lineage that vanished without leaving any genetic descendants in present-day populations.

This finding challenges long-held assumptions about human migration and diversity in the Americas. It opens a new window into the complex history of human settlement on the continent, inviting us to rethink the story of our ancient ancestors and their paths. Isolated group in Colombia found with no modern human relatives (TimelessTalesHQ.com)
