Researchers Reveal Ancient South American Hunter-Gatherers

Scientists found a new group of old people. They lived near North and South America long ago. This group was made of hunter-gatherers around 6,000 years ago.

Researchers study how people moved across America. People first came to North America a long time ago. Then, some groups went south and made their own families.

This new group lived near Bogotá, Colombia. That is where North and South America meet. Scientists do not know where they fit in the family tree.

The study was in a science magazine called Science Advances. One scientist was surprised by the find. He said they did not expect another group in South America.

After 4,000 years, these people were gone from that area. A new group of people lived there instead. Scientists want to study more genes to learn about this history.
