Ancient Ecuadorian genomes reveal 1,500 years of genetic continuity along Pacific coast

Ancient genomes from coastal Ecuador reveal 1,500 years of genetic continuity in an understudied part of the ancient world. John Lindo and colleagues sequenced four genomes from individuals excavated at Salango on Ecuador's central coast, dating to around 2,300 years ago, 1,900 years ago and 740 years ago.
