The controversial Paleoindian FAD (first appearance date) has been complicated at Valsequillo by some erratic U-series dates which contradict conventional 14 C dates and tool typology. Biostratigraphic correlation with a more precise Bison FAD, shows the relevance of paleontology in prehistoric reconstruction. The LAD (last appearance date) of medium-sized Bison chaneyi, 26,820 ± 350 yr B.P., and the FAD o short-horned B antiquus 22,130 ± 350 yr B.P., indicate that species replacement was around 30,000 yr B.P. B. antiquus occurs at Tequixquiac, Upper Becerra, and Valsequillo, Fauna Zone II, av. date 23.000 yr B.P., Mexico. Unifacial edge-trimmed tools occur at the base of the Upper Becerra, Tequixquiac, in the level with B. chaneyi, and unifacial tools occur in the Faunal Zone II, Valsequillo, at the level with B. antiquus. Both sites are isochrons of fossil soil fB01 with minimum date of 23,980 ± 1000 yr B.P. at Malinche volcano in Puebla and traced westward over the Sierra Nevada into the Valley of Mexico. This supports the conclusion that the Central Mexico Paleoindian sites represent the earliest documented FAD.

: From the remains of ten fetal and neonatal skeletons the standard methods of age estimation by means of dental and osseous criteria as well as diaphyseal length were applied and discussed. The ratio of long bone lengths and change of proportions during the first and second half of pregnancy is a useful indicator for the stage of maturation.

Blood samples were collected from Gadaba, a tribal population of Andhra Pradesh, South India, in order to examine the distribution of blood groups, red cell enzymes and the gammaglobulin polymorphism. Out of 20 genetic markers studied seven protein loci exhibited monomorphism. Surprisingly a case of a rare homozygous variant and twenty-one heterozygous variants at the phosphogluconate dehydrogenase locus (6-PGD), six variants at the phosphohexose isomerase locus (PHI) and a single case of phosphoglucomutase locus 1 (PGM 1) variant were observed. Further, the tribal populations of South India reveal higher frequencies of rare variants than the caste populations. However, the presence of rare variants that are phenotypically neutral may be plausibly due to their high selective value.

On the basis of analysis of mtDNA from skeletal remains, dated by 14 C 4020-3210 BC, from the Ust'-Ida I Neolithic burial ground in Cis-Baikal area of Siberia, we obtained genetic characteristics of the ancient Mongoloid population. Using the 7 restriction enzymes for the analysis of site's polymorphism in 16106-16545 region of mtDNA, we studied the structure of the most frequent DNA haplotypes, and estimated the intrapopulational nucleotide diversity of the Neolithic population. Comparison of the Neolithic and modern indigeneous populations from Siberia, Mongolia and Ural showed, that the ancient Siberian population is one of the ancestors of the modern population of Siberia. From genetic distance, in the assumption of constant nucleotide substitution rate, we estimated the divergence time between the Neolithic and the modern Siberian population. This divergence time (5572 years ago) is conformed to the age of skeletal remains (5542-5652 years). With use of the 14 C dates of the skeletal remains, nucleotide substitution rate in mtDNA was estimated as 1 % sequence divergence for 8938-9115 years.

A tenable Valsequillo biostratigraphy realized by the University of Kiel, Germany, is avaible since 1973 which has not been assimilated by American prehistorians. Three heavy mineral zones are correlated with three faunal zones. Valsequillo bifacial-point culture level correlates with Faunal Zone I (ca. 10,000 yr B.P.) and unifacial-point level correlates with Faunal Zone II (ca. 22-30,000 yr B.P.). Faunal Zone III dates to pre-Wisconsinian time. Redeposited, heavily mineralized fossils from this level also have been found at zones I-II profiles what may explain the misfit U-series dating on camel (M-B-3) and mastodon (M-B-8) from cultural levels.
