While we have a deep understanding of human migration and history in some regions of the planet, the peopling of the Americas is still relatively under-studied. With support from SBE-BCS-Biological Anthropology and the Office of Integrative Activities' NSF 2026 Fund Program and Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), Drs. Alfonso-Durruty (Kansas State University), Misarti (University of Alaska Fairbanks), and Bolnick (University of Connecticut) will use skeletal, genetic, dietary and archaeological data to examine two distinct ecological adaptations, terrestrial and marine hunting/gathering, that are highly specialized and appear in the archaeological record at different times. By using multiple sources of information, this study will effectively expand our knowledge and understanding of the Indigenous Peoples of a remote region of the Americas. The project will foster international scientific research collaborations, engage with local communities, and provide training, mentoring, and learning opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in subjects such as the production of 3D analogs and 3D digital data, database design and management, scientific communication and dissemination, molecular anthropology, and the chemical (stable isotope) analyses of bone for dietary reconstructions. The project also will address two of the top thirty-three NSF 2026 Idea Machine entries: “Designing Ecosystems for the Future” and “Reversibility: Future of Life on Earth." This study will utilize biodistance markers, stable isotope data, next-generation genome sequencing, radio-carbon dating, and statistical methods to estimate biodistance, compare and evaluate diets, and reconstruct the population history of indigenous groups. The data will be analyzed to determine whether or not pre-contact terrestrial and marine groups had different origins, or whether the earlier terrestrial hunter gatherers eventually gave rise to marine groups. The extended period of time covered by the data to be collected will allow for reconstruction of the dynamics involved in the population history of a remote region of the Americas.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

虽然我们对地球某些地区的人类迁徙和历史有深入的了解，但在 SBE-BCS-生物人类学和综合活动办公室 NSF 2026 基金计划的支持下，对美洲人类的研究仍然相对不足。和建立刺激竞争性研究计划 (EPSCoR)，Alfonso-Durruty 博士（堪萨斯州立大学）、Misarti（阿拉斯加大学）费尔班克斯）和博尼克（康涅狄格大学）将利用骨骼、遗传、饮食和考古数据来研究两种不同的生态适应，即陆地和海洋狩猎/采集，它们是高度专业化的，并在不同时期出现在考古记录中。通过多种信息来源，这项研究将有效扩大我们对美洲偏远地区土著人民的认识和了解。该项目将促进国际科学研究合作，与当地社区合作，并提供培训、指导和学习。该项目还为本科生和研究生提供 3D 类似物和 3D 数字数据的生成、数据库设计和管理、科学交流和传播、分子人类学以及用于饮食重建的骨骼化学（稳定同位素）分析等学科的机会。将讨论 NSF 2026 年创意机器前 33 个条目中的两个：“为未来设计生态系统”和“可逆性：地球上生命的未来”。同位素数据、下一代基因组测序、放射性碳测年以及估计生物距离、比较和评估饮食以及重建土著群体的人口历史的统计方法将被分析，以确定接触前是否是陆地群体。海洋群体有不同的起源，或者早期的陆地狩猎采集者是否最终产生了海洋群体。要收集的数据所涵盖的较长时间段将有助于重建偏远地区人口历史的动态。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
