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 ...
