Abstract

The article presents the review of the results of paleogenetic studies conducted by various research groups using materials from the funerary sites of the Bronze Age of the Minusinsk Hollow (south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Khakassia) and analyzes the results obtained by comparing the complete genome of the ancient man and the data of phylogenetically informative markers (mtDNA and Y-chromosome DNA). As a result, it was established that in the Bronze Age in the territory of the Middle Yenisei there was a regular change of population, which indicates a high migration activity. The formation of archaeological cultures of this period (Afanasyevskaya, Okunevskaya, Andronovskaya) began with the appearance of a large group of new people, almost completely crowding out their predecessors. Evidence of the assimilation of local residents into new cultural formations is rare and not systemic. The most difficult situation is with the sites of the Late Bronze period due to the small number of tests carried out so far.
