The Population History of Northeastern Siberia

There is still a lack of lithic-industry frames of reference to understand the proto-amerindian cultures of beringia
 
Can you elaborate on this point? What areas, where?
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Neanderthals were further north than homo sapiens and with Levallois tools. The Levalloisio-Mousterian toolkit was the most effective ever designed in the stone age.

Levallois flake tools are present in the strata at which Mal'ta-Buret 1 (Malta boy) was found and also at Rivermouth Trench in British Columbia, Canada (Carlson & Bona)

Regarding the neanderthal-Byzovaya claim: https://www.researchgate.net/public...Mousterian_Persistence_near_the_Arctic_Circle
There is not enough evidence they were made by neanderthals.
 
Between 11 and 4 kya, AP were in turn largely replaced by another group of peoples with ancestry from East Asia, the "Neosiberians" from which many contemporary Siberians derive.



The paper describes a "major population turnover in northeastern Siberia, with Neosiberians arriving from the south largely replacing AP", but where in the south did these Neosiberians originate from? There may be a clue in your more recent posts about studies of Jomon aDNA.

The earliest known pottery in the world was found in south China. From 14,000 years ago cord-marked pottery became widespread from Thailand to Siberia (the lower Amur basin and Transbaikalia). The Jomon aDNA studies show that the Jomon people, who also had early cord-marked pottery, had genetic affinities with coastal east Asian populations from Taiwan to Siberia. I suggest a south to north coastal migration of pre-neolithic pottery making people from southern China to northeastern Siberia between 14,000 and 11,000 years ago, with substantial population replacement along the way. I look forward to further aDNA studies producing evidence that addresses this hypothesis.
