Paleogenomics

Paleogenomics is the study of the DNA from ancient organisms, including plants, animals, and even humans. By extracting and analyzing genetic material from fossils or preserved specimens, scientists can gain insights into the evolution, behavior, and environment of these organisms. This field helps us understand how species have changed over time and how they relate to modern species. Paleogenomics can also reveal how ancient humans lived and interacted, contributing to our knowledge of human history and biodiversity. Ultimately, it bridges the past and present through genetic information.
