Researchers say they have been able to extract a complete ancient human genome from something other than a human bone for the very first time.
Scientists have decoded an entire human genome from a 5,700-year-old birch sample—or ancient"chewing gum." This, they say, is the very first time a complete ancient human genome has been extracted from anything other than a human bone.describe a female, who lived in Scandinavia circa 2,600 BCE. She most likely had dark skin, dark hair, blue eyes and an intolerance to lactose.
The ancient female, nicknamed"Lola," contains no Neolithic farmer ancestry, despite dating to the period immediately after the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Denmark, researchers say. This, they add, supports evidence discovered elsewhere in Europe suggesting hunter-gatherers stuck around for longer than previously thought.
