Exploring the Lineage of an Extinct Precolonial Indigenous People
In a recent study, a team of scientists from the University of Sydney have successfully analyzed a pre-colonial lineage of an extinct indigenous Australian population. By analyzing the DNA of a centuries-old Indigenous Australian mummy, the researchers were able to ascertain the genetic history of an ancient population. This research is groundbreaking in that it not only provides insight into the history of Indigenous Australians, but also sheds light on the ancestry of many Indigenous peoples across the world. This breakthrough provides a unique opportunity to explore the genetic history of ancient populations, and can help us better understand the evolution of modern populations.
