This is a purported list of ancient humans remains, including mummies, that may have been DNA tested. Provided as evidence of the testing are links to the mitochondrial DNA sequences, and/or to the human haplogroups to which each case has been assigned. Also provided is a brief description of when and where they lived.
Mummies 317a and 317b were the infant daughters of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.Their mother, who has been tentatively identified through DNA testing as the mummy KV21A, is presumed to be Ankhesenamun, his only known wife. 317a was born prematurely at 5–6 months' gestation, and 317b was born at or near full term.
The results of the DNA analysis announced in 2010 suggests that this mummy is the mother of the two mummified fetuses from the tomb of Tutankhamun, but not enough data was obtained to make a definitive identification. Hawass suggests this mummy may be Ankhesenamun, the Great Royal Wife of Tutankhamun, and daughter of Nefertiti. [2]
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]
This is a list of mummies – corpses whose skin and organs have been preserved intentionally, or incidentally. This list does not include the following: Bog bodies for which there is a separate list; List of Egyptian mummies (royalty) List of Egyptian mummies (officials, nobles, and commoners)

This has been determined by DNA-testing both his exhumed remains and DNA-matching with living relatives on the maternal line. [39] Marguerite de Baugé , dame de Mirabel (1200–1252), is an ancestor of Pierre Terrail and the presently oldest known member of H10e with an unbroken genealogical tree on the maternal line up the present.
