Ancient #skull may have been half #human, half #Neanderthal child
CT scans hint at hybridization, but it will take extracting and analyzing a #DNA sample to be certain.
Neanderthals and #Homosapiens traded #genes frequently during the period when their populations overlapped. "The two came in contact as modern humans began their major expansion out of Africa, which occurred roughly 60,000 years ago."

#Animal #diseases leapt to #humans when we started keeping #livestock
When #huntergatherers began living close to animals, the #pathogens that cause the #plague and #leprosy got closer too.
The #genomic study identified 5,486 #DNA sequences from #bacteria, #viruses and #parasites in blood remnants from bones and teeth spanning 37,000 years. #Zoonotic pathogens were detected only in remains 6,500 years old or younger.

DNA mutations increase with age, except in mitochondrial DNA of egg cells of women (aged 20-42; other ages were not tested).

Ancient DNA Finally Reveals the REAL Origin of the Black Death
Mobiilivarmenne piti tulla Suomeen myös sovelluksena - kehitys keskeytetty
Elisan ja DNA:n yhteisenä hankkeena oli kehittää mobiilivarmenteesta myös sovellusversio, muttta tietojen mukaan sekä Elisa että DNA ovat päättäneet vetäytyä projektista.

#DNA from #Prehistoric Proto-City Reveals 'Surprising' Signs of #Female-Centered Society
Çatalhöyük, a settlement in #Turkey that dates back more than 9,000 years, has attracted intense interest for its structural complexity and hints of an egalitarian and possibly #matriarchal society.
An unprecedented study reveals maternal lineages, female-centered practices, and a “surprising shift” in a 9,000-year-old settlement associated with a goddess cult.

Living Next To Tesla Diner Is 'Absolute Hell,' Neighbors Say

The Conversation: Forget AI-generated music, this music was composed using DNA sequences. “For me, the collision between molecular biology and art took me to a surprising endpoint: composing music through the editing of DNA sequences. In a soon-to-be-published paper, I detail my method of using digital DNA sequencing to compose music. Rather than having biotech or medical applications, I did […]
Imagine a team of archaeologists excavating a megalithic tomb near Malmö. Everyone's old South Scandinavian peasant stock except for one person who was born to Sardinian immigrants.
Only one of the diggers is closely related to the megalith builders: the Sardinian Swede. Because old South Scandinavian peasant stock only arrived with the Corded Ware culture, long after the tomb was built. Sardinia is the main place where the meg builder genetics survive.
