A woman buried 7,200 years ago in what is now Indonesia belonged to a previously unknown human lineage that doesn't exist anymore, a new genetic analysis reveals. The ancient woman's genome also revealed that she is a distant relative of...

A wide range of interesting revelations emerged from this research project, which sought to untangle the complex genetic, evolutionary, and cultural relationships between these groups. The most notable finding was that some highland residents of Papua New Guinea were carrying strands of Denisovan DNA in their genomes that their ancestors had picked up approximately 25,000 years ago. This was long after their ancestors had migrated to Near Oceania from the East Asian mainland. This discovery was eye-opening and could have profound implications. Adding weight to its authenticity is another s...

Share Researchers analyzed the genomes of 317 Indigenous Oceanian people to reconstruct a history of migration through the vast island region. Marc Dozier Study reveals ‘exciting’ history of humans in Pacific. But critics blast lack of Indigenous input Apr. 14, 2021 , 11:20 AM It was one of the boldest journeys in human history: People ventured into the open Pacific Ocean in double-hulled canoes, crossing thousands of kilometers to find and settle far-flung lands. Now, a study of the genomes of hundreds of modern Indigenous residents of Oceania provides new insights into the route...

This nasty old skull, the oldest human genome, and a cow DNA mistake Chris Burns - Apr 8, 2021, 4:49pm CDT The skull you’re looking at was in pieces when it was discovered. After a whole heck of a lot of work, the physical remnants were put together again for this photo. But it’s the tiniest of pieces we care about today. It’s the DNA this 45,000 year old skull provided that’s placed it in the headlines this week. The new eldest modern human genome Courtesy of this skull from Zlatý kůň cave in Czechia (near Prague), we now have some very, very old DNA. With what...
