Palaeoanthropology of Siberia

V. Alexeev, The Physical Specificities of Paleolithic Hominids in Siberia, in The Paleolithic of Siberia: New Discoveries and Interpretations (ed. A.P. Derev'anko)

"Thus, if during the Upper Paleolithic the population of the Siberian steppe zone was Mongoloid, then during the Neolithic, Europeoid groups moving, one may assume, from the west, were continuously added to this population."

"As for Southern Siberia, the results of Upper Paleolithic palaeoanthropological analysis indicate with high probability that the Europeoid admixture in the composition of the Neolithic population may be secondary, accumulating on a Neolihthic base."

"The boundary of the Europeoid movement is clearly fixed at Lake Baikal. To the east of Baikal no palaeoanthropological find bears any traces of Europeoid admixture."
