A new study reshapes our perspective on the decline of of classic Maya civilization. Though archaeological records long suggested a dramatic population fall around 1,200 years ago, new genetic evidence…
A significant decline in genetic diversity among Neanderthals around 110,000 years ago has been identified, potentially contributing to their eventual extinction. Research analysing the structure of their inner ear bones…
The origins of the Huns, a nomadic group that played a crucial role in the decline of the Roman Empire, have long remained uncertain. Recent DNA analysis of ancient skeletal…
Scientists have identified a potential link between genetic mutations and epigenetic clocks, shedding new light on the mechanisms behind biological aging. This discovery could reshape how aging is understood and…
A detailed analysis of Yemeni genomes has shed light on ancient migration patterns, uncovering genetic influences from the Levant, Arabia, and East Africa. The research indicates that Yemen's geographic location…
Blood groups are classified into systems based on specific antigens present on red blood cells. While the ABO and Rh systems are the most recognised, there are 47 blood group…
In a new study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley, researchers have developed a method to deliver mRNA to fetal brain cells, potentially offering a way to correct genetic disorders…
A tomb from the Moche culture, dating back 1,500 years and located at the Huaca Cao Viejo temple in Peru, has been found to contain evidence of familial sacrifices. Genetic…
A comprehensive study involving 91 researchers, including Eske Willerslev from the Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre at the University of Copenhagen, has provided critical insights into the genetic and linguistic origins…
