A hypothesis of migration: Ancient people make their way to Western Siberia

To this day, researchers are unable to say when exactly ancient peoples appeared in the lower reaches of the Ob River (the current Yamal-Nenets Administrative Area) in the north Cisurals and what lands they initially came from. There were no natural barriers to the migration of ancient people 60,000 years ago neither from the east (the Yenisei River valley) nor from the south (along the Ob River valley). The Western Siberian Plain had no swamps at that time; these formed much later. Researchers can only say that so far it is not clear what the migration patterns of these people were, whether they went from Siberia to Europe or the other way round.
