FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Archaeologists have discovered ancient DNA in the remains of a woman who died 7,200 years ago in Indonesia, a find that challenges what was previously known about migration of early humans. The remains, belonging to a teenager nicknamed Bessé, were discovered in the Leang Panninge cave on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The discovery, published in the journal Nature, is believed to be the first time ancient human DNA has been discovered in Wallacea, the vast chain of islands and atolls in the ocean between mainland Asia and Australia. Griffith University’s Prof Adam Brumm, who co-led the research, said the intact DNA was a rare find. “There’s only one or two pre-neolithic skeletons that have yielded ancient DNA in all of mainland south-east Asia. The researchers describe Bessé as a “genetic fossil”. Genetic sequencing showed she had a unique ancestral history not shared by anyone living today, nor any known humans from the ancient past, Brumm said.

An ordinary Prehistoric woman didn't fade into obscurity forever and instead, her remains created fascination for many people living 7k years later. To the point that we eventually reconstruct her face and 'see' her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CautiousLurker 19,709 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Imagine being a teenager named Besse, damn... parents were wild 7k years ago It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people will see these "news" and how many people have lived during that time that we haven't digged up to have an article about? And tomorrow all of us will forget this anyway cuz we're too busy with our lives. THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
