Ust'-Ishim man is the term given to the 45,000-year-old remains of one of the early modern humans to inhabit western Siberia.[1] The fossil is notable in that it had intact DNA which permitted the complete sequencing of its genome, one of the oldest modern human genomes to be so decoded.[1][2]
The remains consist of a single bone—left femur—of a male hunter-gatherer, which was discovered in 2008[3] protruding from the bank of the Irtysh River by Nikolai Peristov, a Russian sculptor who specialises in carving mammoth ivory.[1] Peristov showed the fossil to a forensic investigator who suggested that it might be of human origin.[1] The fossil was named after the Ust-Ishimsky District of Siberia where it had been discovered.[1]
