Adelaide's Australian
Center University Scientists research on skeletons said that the DNA extracted
from the Ancient skeletons in central Germany yields the first detailed genetic
history of modern Europe which was before 7500 years. They said that Ancient DNA extracted from
prehistoric human skeletons is used to discover maternal genetic lineages now
carried by up to 45 percent of Europeans
Major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia took place and signs of an unexplained genetic turnover about 4,000-5,000 years ago found by the research.
Major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia took place and signs of an unexplained genetic turnover about 4,000-5,000 years ago found by the research.
4,000 years of
prehistory, from the earliest farmers through the early Bronze Age to modern
times can be followed by this.
A researcher Wolfgang
Haak said that this is the first high-resolution genetic record of these
lineages through time, and it is fascinating that we can directly observe both
human DNA evolving in 'real-time', and the dramatic population changes that
have taken place in Europe.
Later there was an
unexpected change in genetic lineages some three millennia.
According to the new
research generated through DNA Europeans are much older people than we think
now. As they migrated to different regions this cannot be found still.
This finding is based on
sequencing the immensely repetitive DNA in the human genome's 1 million
nucleotide-long immunoglobulin heavy (IGH)-chain locus -- long known as the
most prolific producer of the 50-plus varied and diverse antibody-encoding
genes that cells use to fight off infections and diseases said by the
researchers.
