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...

Study Reveals Genetic and Linguistic Roots of Indo-European Populations
A comprehensive study involving 91 researchers provides significant insights into the genetic and linguistic origins of Indo-European populations. It identifies two main migrations during the Bronze Age, with steppe ancestry spreading across Europe. The research also links specific populations like the Spanish, French, and Italian to Bell Beaker an...

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...

Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...
