Abstract

Significance: It has long been assumed that climate played a major role in the population history of the Central Andes. Although adaptations of the Andean populations to climatic changes such as the intensification of agriculture have been inferred from the archaeological record, evidence for demographic adaptations such as migration is missing so far. In this paper, ancient DNA data from populations that lived in southern Peru between 840 BC and 1450 AD provide evidence for two large-scale migrations in the Central Andes coincident with episodes of drought and increased climatic variability. These migrations led to a successive genetic homogenization of southern Peruvian populations generally attributed to intrusions by the late pre-Columbian highland empires such as the Wari, Tiwanaku, or Inca.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
