Scientists just found remains from a lost human lineage. They are genetically unrelated to any living human.
A remarkable mystery has emerged from the highlands of Colombia, where scientists analyzing 6,000-year-old human remains uncovered DNA unlike any ever seen.
These ancient individuals, who once lived in the Bogotá Altiplano, appear to have no direct connection to any known modern or ancient South American population.
Though they may have shared cultural or linguistic ties with Chibchan language speakers in the region, their genetic signature is a biological outlier—offering no known descendants or traceable relatives.
Researchers believe these people could represent a "lost lineage" that once spread through the Isthmo-Colombian area, a vital land bridge between North and South America. Over millennia, their genes may have been diluted through mixing with other populations—or they may have vanished entirely. Their existence challenges current models of early migration in the Americas, suggesting that the peopling of the continent was more complex than previously thought.
More genomic research may eventually decode their story—but for now, they remain an enigma from deep time.
