Paleolithic human DNA reveals east-west connections across Ice Age Europe
Genetic analysis shows that people living in Europe over 30,000 years ago had a greater connection to each other than previously believed. The Gravettian culture's populations were found to have exchanged genetic material across long distances. This was discovered by analyzing DNA from human remains and cave sediments.
Why it's good news: It reveals that ancient humans were more connected and interdependent than previously thought, showing a level of social complexity and cooperation.
