Native American ancestors crossed over a now submerged land bridge called the Bering Strait from Siberia to North America<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NEWLY discovered ancient teeth dating back 31,000 years are evidence of a new ethnic group in human history – and could change everything we know about the first American settlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in extreme arctic conditions in Siberia during the last Ice Age, the previously-undiscovered group is being hailed by scientists as a “missing link in evolution”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ancient people have been named as ‘Ancient North Siberians’ and the new study suggests that they would have survived in harsh conditions by hunting woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses and bison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were discovered thanks to DNA analysis of two ancient milk teeth, found buried deep at the Yana Rhinoceros Horn archaeological site in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Eske Willerslev, who led the study, said: \u201cThe Yana site 31,000 years ago was an Arctic steppe – more rich in plant diversity than today and dominated by varies forbs and grasses, there were very few trees if any. The animal life was very different than today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was more like what we know from the African savanna with mammoth, woolly rhino, horses, bison, wolves and lions. The Ancient North Siberians were hunting these particularly rhino and mammoth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
