Genetic Study Reveals Maya Civilization’s Collapse Was a Reorganization
A groundbreaking genetic study published in Current Biology reveals that the Maya civilization didn’t mysteriously vanish around 1,200 years ago, as once thought. By analyzing ancient genomes from Copán in western Honduras, researchers discovered strong genetic continuity from the Late Archaic era to modern Maya groups. This evidence challenges ...

7,100-Year-Old Skeleton Reveals Unknown Human Lineage in China
A groundbreaking study of a 7,100-year-old skeleton found in Yunnan, China, has revealed a "ghost" human lineage previously known only through genetic inference. The woman, named Xingyi_EN, belonged to a deeply divergent group called the Basal Asian Xingyi lineage, which may have contributed to modern Tibetan ancestry. This discovery, along with ev...

Ancient DNA Sheds Light on the Diverse Genetic Origins of the European Huns
A new study has analysed ancient DNA from 370 individuals buried between the fourth and sixth centuries, revealing that the European Huns were genetically diverse. While some showed direct ties to Xiongnu elites from Mongolia, most carried mixed Northeast Asian ancestry. Researchers found no evidence of a single large-scale migration but instead ob...

12,000-Year-Old Wolf Remains in Alaska Show Early Signs of Human Interaction
A 12,000-year-old wolf leg bone discovered at the Swan Point archaeological site in Alaska has provided new insights into early human-wolf interactions. DNA analysis confirmed the animal was related to wolves, while chemical isotope testing showed it had a diet rich in salmon, suggesting possible human involvement. Researchers debate whether this a...

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...

Ancient DNA Reveals a Distinct Neanderthal Lineage That Evolved Separately for Over 50,000 Years
A recent discovery of Neanderthal DNA from a fossil named Thorin has revealed a previously unknown evolutionary path. Thorin’s lineage reportedly remained isolated from other Neanderthal populations for nearly 50,000 years. The DNA evidence suggests that this group evolved separately in Europe without intermingling with other Neanderthals or earl...
