probably modern humans from Mongolia which became extinct during LGM

Yes, I think that's right.

Amazing how far they spread just on their feet.

and they had to cross the Gobi desert
they just kept on wandering till they found good hunting grounds to support the whole tribe

It's the second datas with the Yana samples, that contradict a little bit that most of Mountaneous and High Latitudes in the LGM was unhospitable. Especially for a place like the Tibetean Plateau, some would think it would have been more harsh than Scandinavia at the same age. But probably not actually, as we see with this, Yana, the fact that the Altai were not Glaciated to let Neanderthals and Denisovans live there and the obvious Bering Straight exemples, maybe the Glaciation was mostly hardcore in Europe because there was no Atlantic stream or any kind of hot winds like the Sirocco?

probably neither Yana nor the Tibetan plateau had survivors during LGM, and the same can be said about the Altaï mountains

Do you think they were just " de passage "?

the Tibetan plateau would have been recolonised ca 15 ka

that means those early visitors would have gone extinct or survived LGM in a refuge elsewhere

Yes but dead end populations or not. The point that we found 28-29K years old peoples in the 70° latitudes north in the peak of LGM wich was 25K if i remember, means that they could go there, why would they go there? The same with the Tibetan Plateau, if they did go there, it means there was at least Grass and not just a giant Glacier.
