Abstract
Population affinities of the Timonovka-Yudinovo Upper Paleolithic people are reconstructed on the basis of three isolated deciduous teeth––a lower lateral incisor, lower and upper second molars, likely representing three individuals––from Yudinovo in the middle Desna basin (15–12 ka BP), found in 1987–1996. Based on measurements and descriptive traits and computed microtomography, the teeth were compared with those from other Upper Paleolithic sites in northern Eurasia. The principal component analyses of metric and nonmetric traits revealed similar patterns. To minimize random variation, results of both analyses were integrated. Results indicate affi nity with Pavlov people in Central Europe. The diagnostic trait combination includes weak expression of the Carabelli cusp on the upper second molar, accessory sixth cusp on the lower second molar, large bucco-lingual diameter of both molars, and moderate mesio-distal diameter of the lower second molar. These results support the view that the Timonovka-Yudinovo tradition is related to eastern Gravette.

Summary
Результаты изучения молочных зубов с верхнепалеолитической стоянки Юдиново (Среднее Подесенье). Статья посвящена реконструкции популяционных связей носителей тимоновско-юдиновской верхнепалеолитической культуры, оставивших стоянку Юдиново в Среднем Подесенье The diagnostic trait combination includes weak expression of the Carabelli cusp on the upper second molar, accessory sixth cusp on the lower second molar, large bucco-lingual diameter of both molars, and moderate mesio-distal diameter of the lower second molar These results support the view that the Timonovka-Yudinovo tradition is related to eastern Gravette. Морфологические характеристики юдиновских находок до сих пор оставались вне поля зрения антропологов, поскольку традиционно для популяционных построений использовались только постоянные зубы. Становятся исключительно важным источником информации для реконструкции популяционных связей и происхождения населения не только Среднего Подесенья, но и Северной Евразии в целом. Основная цель настоящей работы – детальный анализ их морфологии для определения направлений биологических связей населения, оставившего тимоновскоюдиновские памятники
