Ancient North Eurasians (ANE) were a shadowy but influential population who roamed the vast northern reaches of Eurasia from roughly 45,000 to 10,000 years ago. Their genetic legacy is a puzzle, with evidence suggesting a mix of ancestry from West Asian groups and a mysterious deep East Eurasian source. While they likely never formed a single, unified culture, ANE ancestry is found scattered across Europe and Asia, hinting at their role in ancient migrations. Their influence is particularly strong in European hunter-gatherers and some Bronze Age populations, suggesting they intermixed with other groups as they moved across the continent. Though little direct archaeological evidence of ANE remains, their genetic fingerprint whispers of a lost people who helped shape the human story.
