Ancient DNA Unveils 10,000 Years of Human History in Southern Africa
In a region known for hosting some of the earliest evidence of modern humans, DNA analysis was sparse. Until now.
Insights into South African population history from 10,000-year-old human DNA
Ancient DNA has provided spectacular insights into human history, particularly in Europe and Asia, where researchers have reconstructed the genomes of thousands of people. However, fewer than two dozen ancient genomes have been recovered from southern Africa -- specifically Botswana,
10,000-year-old human DNA provides insights into South African population history
A team of researchers from the University of Cape Town (South Africa) and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany) have analyzed human remains from the Oakhurst rock shelter in southernmost Africa and reconstructed the genomes of thirteen individuals,
Genetic time capsule: Oldest DNA discovered in South Africa rewrites human history
In a discovery that challenges our understanding of human history, scientists have successfully decoded the oldest DNA ever found in South Africa.
Scientists Sequenced the DNA of the ‘Last Neanderthal’—and It Alters Human History
Despite its proximity to other groups of Neanderthals and the era’s modern humans, the lineage of the specimen, dubbed “Thorin,” found by Slimak managed to stay totally isolated from groups of other early beings.
Indigenous South Africans Still Directly Related To Their 10,000-Year-Old Ancestors
Members of the San and Khoe Indigenous populations of southern Africa can still trace much of their genetic ancestry back to prehistoric hunter-gatherers who lived in the region 10,000 years ago. According to the authors of a new study,
Ancient Genomes Reveal Long-Term Genetic Stability in Southernmost Africa
Around 13 individuals, who died between 1,300 and 10,000 years ago, had their genomes reconstructed by a team of researchers from the University of Cape Town (South Africa) and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,
