Ancient Migration Shaped Yemen's Unique Genetic Makeup, Finds New Study
A detailed genetic analysis of Yemen has uncovered the region's complex migration history. By studying 46 Yemeni genomes, the research reveals significant genetic influences from East Africa, the Levant, and Arabia. Maternal DNA shows a marked African presence, with one-third of individuals carrying African-specific mitochondrial haplogroups, parti...

Ancient DNA Study Shows How Early Europeans Adapted Over 7,000 Years
A study using ancient DNA has revealed how early Europeans adapted to their environments over 7,000 years. By examining genetic samples from archaeological remains, researchers found evidence of natural selection in traits like vitamin D production and lactose tolerance. Immune gene adaptations were also linked to agricultural shifts and disease ex...

Pompeii DNA Study Reveals Surprising Ancestry and Uncovers New Insights on Family and Gender Assumptions
Recent DNA findings from Pompeii reveal complex ancestry and social diversity, challenging earlier assumptions about family structures and cultural roles in the ancient city. Analysing skeletal remains has shown that some groups presumed to be family members were not biologically related, while traditional gender roles were also re-evaluated. This ...

Skeleton in Found Belgium Contains Bones from Five People Across 2,500 Years of History
A skeleton found in Pommerœul, Belgium, shocked archaeologists when they discovered that it contained bones from at least five people, spanning from the Neolithic era to the Roman period. The bones were carefully arranged, possibly by the Romans who may have disturbed a Neolithic grave. DNA analysis and radiocarbon dating have confirmed the bones...

17,000-Year-Old DNA of Ice Age Infant Reveals Dark Skin, Blue Eyes
Analysis of a 17,000-year-old infant’s remains from southern Italy sheds light on Ice Age ancestry and health. The infant, found in a Puglian cave, was likely around a year old at death and had distinctive traits—brown skin, blue eyes, and curly dark hair. His genome links him to Europe’s Villabruna lineage, suggesting their presence in south...
