Iberia served as a critical human and animal refugium in Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), 26.5 to 19 thousand years before the present (cal. kya), marked by significant climatic cooling and environmental changes. As such, the Iberian Peninsula is a key location for understanding human population dynamics before, during and after these climatic events. We recovered and analysed sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) data from the lower archaeological stratigraphic sequence of El Mirón cave (Cantabria, Spain), encompassing the Late Mousterian (associated with Neanderthals), Gravettian (c. 31.5 cal kya), Solutrean (c. 24.5-22cal kya), and Initial Magdalenian (d. 21-20.5 cal kya) periods, associated with anatomically modern humans. We identified 29 species of animals including humans from layers spanning the Mousterian to the Initial Magdalenian. 14 of these species had not been identified from the archaeozoological (i.e., osteological) record, including the presence of hyenas in the Magdalenian. Additionally, the phylogenetic analysis of the animal DNA retrieved from El Mirón sediments, including 72 mammalian mitochondrial sedaDNA genomes, shows the presence of simultaneous different faunal mtDNA lineages. Finally, we recovered three human mtDNA sequences from Solutrean levels that, together with published data, point to mtDNA haplogroup continuity in Iberia throughout the Solutrean period."],"repository":["ENA"],"description_synonyms":["Ancient DNA, HH, eIF2C2, SEL-10, hCdc4, lifespan, human being, multi-cellular organism, ago, Balearic Islands, 1110001A17Rik, Activity, Laboratory, l(2)k08121, AGO 2, bar, IDOL, l(2)04845, MRE20, Hh, Human, FBXW3, FBXW6, Readability, Tier, anon-WO0134654.19, DmelCG4637, Hyena, Homo sapiens, CG7439, symptoms, Animal, Mir, MIR, Research Activity, animal, Laboratory Research, Man, Miranda, Animalia, Priorities, study, MONDOA, Man (Taxonomy), mitochondrial genome, Cavern, Research, entire lifespan, entire life cycle, Mrt, dAGO2, dAGO1, metazoa, mir, FBW6, l(2)4845, FBW7, Fbw7, Fbxo30, ago2, ago1, Myosin regulatory light chain-interacting protein, bar-3, SEL10, dAgo1, CDC4, dAgo2, Cdc4, FBXO30, Fbx30, Dm Ago1, Development and Research, species, bHLHe36, Ago2, Research Priority, Ago1, Idol, Protele, cdc4, Proteles, 9430057C20Rik, FBX30, screening, DmelCG7439, l(3)hh, findings, ago1-1, Ago-1, Ago-2, Dm Ago2, Mitochondrial DNA, Myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein, body, 6.3.2.-, animalia, Modern, DmFbw7, DmelCG15010, Aardwolve, Canary Islands, anon-WO0257455.29, anon-WO0118547.345, Research Priorities, whole body, Caverns, CG4637, CG12249, AW228700, organism, Fbwd6, Priority, survival, CG6671, Aardwolves, bar3, Metazoa, Research Activities, hAgo, Cave, Fbxw6, DmelCG12249, AG02, l(2)k00208, CG13452, Research and Development, mtDNA, l(3)neo56, l(3)neo57, whole organism, death rate, life, Mira, signs, Inducible degrader of the LDL-receptor, Understanding, human, Activities, mitochondrial DNA, Ago, anon-WO0182946.19, AGO, ago-2, time of survival., Modern Man, Koerper, SCF[Ago], MIRA, CG15010, Hyenas, humans, DmelCG6671, hg"],"name_synonyms":["Ancient DNA, 9430057C20Rik, HH, Miranda, l(3)hh, human being, l(3)neo56, Man (Taxonomy), l(3)neo57, MONDOA, Myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein, Cavern, 6.3.2.-, Mrt, Modern, Mira, bar, Canary Islands, Inducible degrader of the LDL-receptor, mir, IDOL, Caverns, human, CG4637, Human, Hh, CG12249, AW228700, Myosin regulatory light chain-interacting protein, anon-WO0134654.19, DmelCG4637, Homo sapiens, anon-WO0182946.19, bar-3, Modern Man, bar3, MIRA, Balearic Islands., Cave, DmelCG12249, bHLHe36, Mir, MIR, Idol, Man, humans, hg"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"A sedimentary ancient DNA perspective on human and carnivore persistence through the Last Glacial Maximum in El Mirón Cave, Spain.","description":"This study analyzes ancient DNA from El Mirón Cave, Spain, to explore human and animal life during the Last Glacial Maximum, 26.5 to 19 thousand years ago.
