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...

Genetic Analysis Reveals Family Sacrifices in 1,500-Year-Old Moche Tomb in Peru
A genetic study of a 1,500-year-old Moche tomb in Peru has revealed a unique sacrificial ritual involving family members. Two teenagers, one a boy sacrificed to his father and a girl to her aunt, were found buried alongside high-status individuals in a tomb at the Huaca Cao Viejo temple. This discovery, reported in PNAS, challenges previous assumpt...

Study Reveals Connection Between Genetics and the Ability to Dance, Move in Sync With Music
Researchers have discovered that the ability to pick up the beat of a song or mere tapping to the music in sync has a genetic connection. In a new study, researchers from the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute worked with 23andMe using data from 6,00,000 research participants, to identify 69 genetic variants associated with beat synchronisation or the...
