Nature (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06035-2 From the original research published in Nature: "Here we report the development of a non-destructive method for the gradual release of DNA trapped in ancient bone and tooth artefacts. Application of the method to an Upper Palaeolithic deer tooth pendant from Denisova Cave, Russia, resulted in the recovery of ancient human and deer mitochondrial genomes, which allowed us to estimate the age of the pendant at approximately 19,000–25,000 years. Nuclear DNA analysis identifies the presumed maker or wearer of the pendant as a female individual with strong genetic affinities to a group of Ancient North Eurasian individuals who lived around the same time but were previously found only further east in Siberia.

Nature News Release 24 April 2023: ‘Truly gobsmacked’: Ancient-human genome count surpasses 10,000"4/25/2023
 Credit: Ashley Cooper/Getty Callaway, Ewan. (2023, April 24). "‘Truly gobsmacked’: Ancient-human genome count surpasses 10,000: The majority of sequences come from people who lived in Western Eurasia, but samples from other regions are on the rise." Nature News: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01403-4
From the news release: "In 2010, researchers published the first genome sequence from an ancient human, using tufts of hair from a man who lived around 4,000 years ago in Greenland1. In the 13 years since, scientists have generated genome data from more than 10,000 ancient people — and there’s no sign of a slowdown." Jourdan Thibodeaux has profound words: "Oh tu vis ta culture Ou tu tues ta culture Il n'y a pas de milieu." ("You live your culture or you kill your culture... there is no in between." ) Let his message sink in while you listen to his music.
