New genetic evidence from Stajnia Cave reveals the oldest Neanderthal group reconstructed in Central-Eastern Europe
An international study published in Current Biology presents the results of the analysis of ancient mitochondrial DNA obtained from eight Neanderthal teeth discovered in Stajnia Cave, Poland. For the first time, the research reconstructs the genetic profile of a small group of Neanderthals from the same site, north of the Carpathians, who lived during the same ancient chronological phase.
Scientists Reconstruct One of Oldest Known Neanderthal Communities
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from eight fossils found in Stajnia Cave in Poland reveals a tight-knit group of Neanderthals who lived about 100,000 years ago, offering one of the clearest genetic snapshots yet of a single community in prehistoric Europe. The post Scientists Reconstruct One of Oldest Known Neanderthal Communities appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
The remains found in the Stajnia Cave, located in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, belonged to Neanderthals. This was confirmed by research by an international team, including scientists from the University of Wrocław. The remains are estimated to be between 92,000 and 119,000 years old.
