The DNA sequence of even older nuclear DNA was reported in 2021 from the permafrost-preserved teeth of two Siberian mammoths, both over a million years old. [6] [75] Researchers in 2016 measured chloroplast DNA in marine sediment cores, and found diatom DNA dating back to 1.4 million years. [76]
[18] [19] The DNA indicated that the Windover peoples' DNA "carried genetic markers that link them to ancient populations from Asia" and that "they do not match any native populations alive in North America today." [20] The DNA also indicated that one family had used this grave site for over a century. [9] Gut contents were found with many of ...
Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
Mitochondrial DNA (also known as mtDNA) was sequenced from desiccated muscle of the quagga, and was found to differ by 12 base substitutions from the mitochondrial DNA of a mountain zebra. It was concluded that these two species had a common ancestor 3-4 million years ago, which is consistent with known fossil evidence of the species.
The population of early humans dwindled to around 1,280 individuals during a time of dramatic climate change and remained that small for about 117,000 years, the study said.
DNA from human remains found in a medieval well suggests they belonged to Ashkenazi Jews who fell victim to antisemitic violence during the 12th century. ... making them the oldest Jewish genomes ...

(Reuters) - Remnants of DNA have been discovered in fossilized remains dating to 6 million years ago of a sea turtle closely related to today's Kemp's ridley and olive ridley turtles, marking one ...
