People above the Arctic Circle 32,000 years ago

In 2001 a thawing bank of the Yana River in Yakutia exposed bones, tusks and tools from a camp about 32,000 years old, the earliest evidence of people living above the Arctic Circle. Two boys' milk teeth from the site revealed a previously unknown population, now called Ancient North Siberians.
