Neo-Siberian populations diverged from East Asian people >11,000 years ago and expanded into Siberia, were they mixed with and replaced the previous Paleosiberian peoples. The spread of early Neo-Siberian ancestry westwards may be associated with the dispersal of Uralic languages.
Ancient Siberian populations branched off from East Asian people more than 11,000 years ago and spread into Siberia, potentially intermingling with and supplanting the earlier Paleosiberian inhabitants. The migration of early Neo-Siberian ancestry towards the west may be linked to the dispersal of Uralic languages.
