ICYMI - Everyone loves Γtzi
There is a new study out, re-examining the DNA of Γtzi, one of the oldest glacial mummies (dated 3350β3120 BCE), found near the Austrian/Italian border in 1991. This study shows two things.
He showed an unusually-high c.90% Anatolian Neolithic farmer ancestry but NO Steppe ancestry (The rest is European Hunter-Gatherer)
Also, he was much more dark-skinned than expected and had SNPs associated with male-pattern baldness.

βThe HLD 6 mandible provides further support for the high morphological diversity during late Middle Pleistocene hominin evolution. With these findings, it is possible that modern human morphologies are present as early as 300 ka and earlier than the emergence of modern humans in East Asia.β #isogg #dna #ancientdna #hominid #geneadons

What's really interesting is the contrast between the paternal and maternal linages.
The yDNA came from 2 haplogroups (G2a2b2a1a2 (n=51) and H2m (n=6)) whilst for the mtDNA there were "35 unique
mitochondrial haplotypes among 57 such individuals". This suggests an "exogenous origin of these females". in other words the "females in-migrated from their birthplace" which suggests quite an interaction between different groups/clans during this time.

Hi #geneadons, some amazing AncientDNA research was published this week. Human DNA was recovered from a near 20 kyr Elk-bone pendant.
Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06035-2
Reporting: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01482-3
A Twitter thread on how this was achieved: https://twitter.com/ElenaEssel/status/1653776812218933248
π¬π§¬ Researchers have extracted ancient human DNA from a 20,000-year-old Palaeolithic pendant
This could provide insights into the lives and cultures of prehistoric humans
