Researchers say they have discovered the oldest evidence yet of humans in the Arctic.

But these aren't ancestors of Alaska Natives or American Indians, supposedly. They could be modern humans or Neanderthals who lived in the Ural Mountains of Russia more than 30,000 years ago.

But if they are related to Native Americans, they might also be related to the ancient Japanese, who are also now said to most resemble the first real, true Americans.
