Unlocking the Secrets of Ancient Skeletons: How Proteins are Providing Key Insights
A new breakthrough has been made in the field of human evolution. Scientists have successfully extracted proteins from the skeletons of ancient humans—a feat that was previously thought to be impossible. By analyzing these ancient proteins, researchers are gaining valuable insights into how our ancestors lived and evolved. For example, they have discovered that the diets of some of our ancestors were surprisingly diverse, and that this diet may have played a key role in their evolution. This new method of analyzing ancient proteins promises to open up a whole new world of knowledge about the past.
