Does this mean that the climate in Siberia is actually colder now than it was in prehistoric times?

Great article!!
The discovery adds to the evidence that Siberia was not an isolated wasteland but a crossroads of international trade and cultural diversity, Dr. Natalya Fyodorova of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences said during an interview in her office in this central Russian city.
Traditionally archaeologists have been wed to the view of civilization beginning in the mideast. With the fall of the Soviet Union and advances of science, we get a much mor robust and complicated view of the world. Now if China would just take to politics out of its archaeology.

Blam my man, you sure that whoever's translating this stuff from Russian is getting his time frames right? I mean, I might could picture Siberia being some sort of a trade crossroads in pleistocine times but not 1000 years ago.

"Blam my man, you sure that whoever's translating this stuff from Russian is getting his time frames right? I mean, I might could picture Siberia being some sort of a trade crossroads in pleistocine times but not 1000 years ago." I can't argue with the translation. I think there has been continuous occupation in Siberia for at least 200,000 years.
Once while reading about the Cocaine Mummies Of Egypt, I read that one guy speculated about a trade route all the way from South America, across Siberia and into the Middle East. That was his explanation of how the Egyptians had access to cocaine and nicotine thousands of years ago.

Luckily these remains were not found in the U.S., where they would have to be turned over to "native Americans" for disposal before they could be studied.

"Luckily these remains were not found in the U.S., where they would have to be turned over to "native Americans" for disposal before they could be studied." Yup, that problem needs to be addressed. There weren't any 'Indians' (as we know them today) here before 6,000 years ago.

"I think that the thing I have gotten from this ping list is the amazing relationship of all humans in this world." Yup. Most people do not realize how closely related we all are. ...75,000 years ago all but 2,000 of us were killed. We are all the off-spring of those survivors.

Continuous occupation true, but by relatively small Turko/Mongol tribes eking out an existence hunting and fishing. That's not most people's definition of any sort of a quasi-major trade nexus or caravan hub. Within historical times the caravan routes (silk road etc.)ran through southern Asia for obvious reasons.
