Recent discoveries in Colombia: 6000 skeletons with unique DNA What's Happening Recent discoveries in Colombia have revealed 6,000-year-old skeletons with never-before-seen DNA, potentially rewriting human history. Scientists analysed 21 ancient individuals and found that their DNA doesn't align with modern or ancient South African populations. Instead, there is a weak connection in the Chibchan-speaking groups from Panama, but no direct descendants. This suggests that early human migration in the Americas was more complex than previously thought. The research depends on researchers trying to determine why these people vanished from the genetic record around 4000 years ago. Why is it important This discovery is groundbreaking because it challenges long-held assumptions about human migration in the Americas. It reveals these skeletons as rewrites, which uncover a previously unknown genetic lineage, suggesting that early populations were more diverse and complex than historian...
