Genomic Archaeology

Genomic archaeology is the study of ancient DNA from archaeological remains, such as bones or plants. By analyzing this genetic material, scientists can uncover information about past species, human migrations, and how ancient populations interacted with their environment. This field combines genetics, archaeology, and history to create a clearer picture of our ancestry and the evolution of life. By piecing together these genetic puzzles, researchers can better understand biodiversity and the development of human civilization over thousands of years.
