Intellectual partner project
international team of researchers has restored the oldest today genome progenitor of human age of 400 thousand years. Our ancestors lived in a cave Sima de los Uesos on the territory of modern Spain and you have a close relative Denisovskoye person. This was reported in an article published in the journal Nature.
According to one of the authors, Matthias Meyer (Matthias Meyer) of the Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany), the relationship of mitochondrial DNA denisovtsami and Neanderthals is not unexpected, since some parts of the skeleton are typical Neanderthal. Undertake further study of the remains of our distant ancestor will help clarify the relationship between the inhabitants of this cave denisovtsami and Neanderthals.
Scientists have been able to decipher the ancient human genome sequencing method thanks paleogenomov that Mayer developed in 2012. They restored and read part of the human genome, which is contained in the mitochondria of cells – mitochondrial DNA – and compared it to that of denisovtsev, Neanderthals and modern humans. Proximity resident Spanish cave to the Altai human ancestors gave rise to many questions about the migration of people in ancient times.
Archaeologists and genetics lately make amazing discoveries. Siberian boy recently recognized ancestor of Native Americans, and the Austrian “ice man” found relatives of modern humans.
