Vuntut: A Land Spared by Ice
Vuntut National Park in the Yukon is part of Beringia, a vast area that remained ice-free during the last ice age. Its name means 'among the lakes' in Gwich’in, referring to the wetlands that are a critical stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds. This unglaciated landscape holds deep archaeological and ecological significance. #Canada #Vuntut #Yukon #Beringia 🇨🇦

What did Beringia look like in the last “ice-age?” Alistair Monteath et al.¹ have just published an impressive review article!
I will need some time to read through it.
The more detailed fossil-based understanding of vegetation and soil is really important for a clearer picture of the plant–herbivore interactions. In the end, it’s so much more complex than the naïve concept of a homogenous mammoth steppe grassland…

#DYK that ground squirrels first appeared in North America around 10 million years ago? However, the oldest known arctic ground squirrel remains date between 1.8 and 2.5 million years old. That's pretty impressive considering that they can still be found across the circumpolar north today!

For more than 50 years, dental anthropologists have studied variation in the shape of human teeth to study the patterns of migration that people took as they populated the world. The last major continental migration event took place about 16,000 years ago, when humans first moved into North and South America. Where exactly did these people come from? How did they get there? Were there multiple waves of migration?
New research suggests some early Americans may have traveled on winter sea ice down the coast from Beringia as long as 24,000 years ago. One of the hottest debates in archeology is how and when humans first arrived in North America. Archaeologists have traditionally argued that people walked thro
