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...

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...
