摘　　要：A frozen mummy was found in Cerro Aconcagua (Argentina)in 1985(Fig.1a-c).Archaeologists identified this mummy as a seven-year-old Inca sacrifice victim living at the time of the Inca Civilization about 500years ago [1].The child was sacrificed following an Incan ritual known as capacocha.The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome of this mummy was recently analyzed in Gomez-Carballa et al.[2].This mitogenome belongs to a new sub-branch of the Native American phylogeny named C1bi dated to approximately 14 thousand years ago (loja).Information retrieved from a large database of mtDNA profiles indicated the existence of a few closely related haplotypes in Peru (including one haplotype retrieved from ancient DNA of an individual belonging to the Wari Empire)and the Aymaras from Bolivia.Overall these data suggested a Peruvian Inca origin for this C1bi haplotype,in good agreement with archaeological reports [1].
