Scientists analyzing 6,000-year-old skeletons discovered in Bogotá's Altiplano region have identified a previously unknown human lineage with no known ancestors or descendants. These nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in forests and valleys, but their origins and disappearance remain a mystery. The findings challenge the understanding of South America's ancient populations, as this lineage differs from the known northern and southern indigenous groups. Researchers aim to uncover more archaeological evidence to reveal the life and culture of this lost civilization.

Miguel Uribe, a 39-year-old Colombian presidential candidate, was seriously injured after being shot during a campaign event in Bogotá’s Fontibón area. He is a member of the conservative Democratic Center party, founded by former President Álvaro Uribe, though they are not related. Authorities arrested one suspect and are investigating further. The Colombian government condemned the attack and called for a full inquiry. Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez has visited Uribe in the hospital.
