Chiral water super-structure forms around DNA. Biohacking : Discovering Our Relationship to the Denisovans. In December of 2010 the science journal Nature published an article about a newly discovered, but long extinct subspecies of humans.

Biohacking : Discovering Our Relationship to the Denisovans

The name temporarily being used to identify these people is the Denisovans based on the cave in Siberia where a hermit named “Denis” had lived in the 1800’s. A young females pinky finger bone fragment was found in this location. The cool climate of the cave preserved the DNA and a successful DNA analysis was performed. Since the initial discovery only a tooth (a very big molar) has also been identified as being of Denisovan origin (same location, but a different person and time).

Homo sapiens (modern humans) being who we are had to of course mate with both Neanderthals and Denisovans so there have been multiple interbreeding events in the last half million years. People of East Asian and Ocieana descent have the highest likelihood to carry Denisovan genetics today. Breathless Over New Finding Using Ancient DNA - 23andMe Blog. With one very important exception Tibetans and their Han Chinese neighbors are genetically very similar, but that one difference makes all the difference.

In the breathlessly thin air of the Himalayas, Tibetans have a genetic variant that makes them keenly well adapted to living on the “roof of the world.” Ancient DNA Analysis Elucidates Split of Denisovan, Neanderthal Y Chromosome Lineages. What does it mean to have Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA?: MedlinePlus Genetics. Several direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies report how much DNA a person has inherited from prehistoric humans, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans.

What does it mean to have Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA?: MedlinePlus Genetics

This information is generally reported as a percentage that suggests how much DNA an individual has inherited from these ancestors. The percentage of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans is zero or close to zero in people from African populations, and is about 1 to 2 percent in people of European or Asian background. The percentage of Denisovan DNA is highest in the Melanesian population (4 to 6 percent), lower in other Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander populations, and very low or undetectable elsewhere in the world.

Neanderthals were very early (archaic) humans who lived in Europe and Western Asia from about 400,000 years ago until they became extinct about 40,000 years ago. History of Human Genetics: Aspects of Its Development and Global Perspectives - Google Books. Scientists map the DNA of ethnic groups in former Soviet Union. Even a small amount of biological material - a few hairs, a blood stain, allow us to define the ethno-territorial origin of any person.' Picture: Valery Bychkov Scientists at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Tomsk can locate a person to a small region with their DNA mapping technique.

Deputy director of Scientific Affairs at the institute, Vadim Stepanov, said: 'If we have a DNA sample, we can tell where is the person from, sometimes down to a district.' He explained: 'To put it simply, the essence of the technology is that we know which peculiarities of DNA each nation has. On the basis of this knowledge we can determine from which locality a person comes from. Siberia, like much of the Russian Federation, comprises many dozens of distinct indigenous nationalities. Deputy director of Scientific Affairs at the institute, Vadim Stepanov, said: 'If we have a DNA sample, we can tell where is the person from, sometimes down to a district.'

A Genetic Study That Challenges Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. The Facts:It doesn't seem likely that a COVID vaccine will be mandatory under the Trump administration, but Joe Biden recently shared that he believes it should be.Reflect On:If the vaccine did become mandatory, would you take it?

A Genetic Study That Challenges Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

Will there be too much of a backlash if the vaccine is made mandatory, or mandatory to travel for example? What Happened: US President Donald Trump told Stuart Varney on Fox Business Network’s ‘Varney &Co’ that he doesn’t plan to make the coronavirus vaccine mandatory for American citizens, because “there are some people who feel strongly about the whole situation,’ alluding to the idea that people should still have freedom of choice when it comes to what they choose to do with their own body. On the other hand, presidential candidate Joe Biden said he would urge all state representatives, governors, mayors and council members to make the vaccine mandatory, just like some have done with masks.

We are being made to believe that a vaccine is the only answer. Genome of nearly 5000-year-old woman links modern Indians to ancient civilization. At roughly the same time that ancient Egyptians were constructing their first great pyramids and Mesopotamians were building monumental temples and ziggurats, the Harappans of South Asia—also known as the Indus Valley Civilization—were erecting massive baked brick housing complexes and cutting elaborate canal systems.

Genome of nearly 5000-year-old woman links modern Indians to ancient civilization

The civilization’s abrupt downfall remains one of the great mysteries of the ancient world. Now, for the first time, scientists have analyzed the genome of an ancient Harappan. The findings reveal little about why the society collapsed, but they illuminate both its past and its continuing genetic legacy in modern Indians. “The Indus Valley Civilization has been an enigma for a long time,” says Priya Moorjani, a population geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, who wasn’t involved with the study.

If Your DNA Information Is Being Sold, Shouldn’t You Make The Profit? The Facts:All restrictions on restaurants and other business in Florida have been lifted, and so have local fines against people who refuse to wear masks after the CDC released new survival rates.Reflect On:Why are opinions and narratives that oppose the WHO being censored, ridiculed, and largely ignored?

If Your DNA Information Is Being Sold, Shouldn’t You Make The Profit?

Why aren't they discussed openly and transparently? What Happened: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently lifted all restrictions on restaurants and other business in Florida and banned local fines against people who refuse to wear masks. He did so after showing new statistics just released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) showing very high survival rates, as you can see from the picture picture above. The CDC has a page on their website titled “Covid-19 Pandemic Planning Scenarios.” According to them, “Each scenario is based on a set of numerical values for biological and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 illness, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Ancient Beringians, A Discovery Changing Early Native American History. A scientific illustration of the Upward Sun River camp in what is now Interior Alaska.

Ancient Beringians, A Discovery Changing Early Native American History

(Illustration: Eric S. Carlson in collaboration with Ben A. Potter) Thanks to the ancient DNA of a six-week-old infant, scientists have a whole new understanding of how—and who—populated North America. In an article published in Nature, researchers revealed surprising new information, which has spawned different theories about how the New World was populated. “We didn’t know this population existed,” shared Ben Potter, one of the lead authors of the study and a professor of anthropology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In 2013, Potter and his students discovered the remains of two human infants, thought to be related, at the Upward Sun River (USR) in interior Alaska. Epigenetic Memories Are Passed Down 14 Successive Generations, Game-Changing Research Reveals. The Facts:It's amazing how much information can be passed on to our offspring.

Epigenetic Memories Are Passed Down 14 Successive Generations, Game-Changing Research Reveals

Scientist have discovered that our DNA has memories, and these can also be passed down. We are talking about thoughts, feelings, emotions and perceptions.Reflect On:Biological changes are shaped by our environment, as well as our thoughts, feelings, emotions and reaction to that environment. Our DNA can be changed with belief, the placebo is a great example. Thoughts feelings and emotions are huge in biology. This article was written by the Greenmedinfo research group, from Greenmedinfo.com. Human footprints dating back 120,000 years found in Saudi Arabia. Around 120,000 years ago in what is now northern Saudi Arabia, a small band of homo sapiens stopped to drink and forage at a shallow lake that was also frequented by camels, buffalo and elephants bigger than any species seen today.

The humans may have hunted the big mammals but they did not stay long, using the watering hole as a waypoint on a longer journey. This detailed scene was reconstructed by researchers in a new study published in Science Advances on Wednesday, following the discovery of ancient human and animal footprints in the Nefud Desert that shed new light on the routes our ancient ancestors took as they spread out of Africa. Today, the Arabian Peninsula is characterized by vast, arid deserts that would have been inhospitable to early people and the animals they hunted down. But research over the last decade has shown this wasn't always the case—due to natural climate variation it experienced much greener and more humid conditions in a period known as the last interglacial.

World's largest DNA sequencing of Viking skeletons reveals they weren't all Scandinavian. Invaders, pirates, warriors—the history books taught us that Vikings were brutal predators who travelled by sea from Scandinavia to pillage and raid their way across Europe and beyond. Now cutting-edge DNA sequencing of more than 400 Viking skeletons from archaeological sites scattered across Europe and Greenland will rewrite the history books as it has shown: Skeletons from famous Viking burial sites in Scotland were actually local people who could have taken on Viking identities and were buried as Vikings.Many Vikings actually had brown hair not blonde hair.Viking identity was not limited to people with Scandinavian genetic ancestry.

The study shows the genetic history of Scandinavia was influenced by foreign genes from Asia and Southern Europe before the Viking Age. Early Viking Age raiding parties were an activity for locals and included close family members. The genetic legacy in the UK has left the population with up to six percent Viking DNA. Dr. DNA from an ancient, unidentified ancestor was passed down to humans living today. A new analysis of ancient genomes suggests that different branches of the human family tree interbred multiple times, and that some humans carry DNA from an archaic, unknown ancestor. Melissa Hubisz and Amy Williams of Cornell University and Adam Siepel of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory report these findings in a study published 6th August in PLOS Genetics. Roughly 50,000 years ago, a group of humans migrated out of Africa and interbred with Neanderthals in Eurasia.

But that's not the only time that our ancient human ancestors and their relatives swapped DNA. The sequencing of genomes from Neanderthals and a less well-known ancient group, the Denisovans, has yielded many new insights into these interbreeding events and into the movement of ancient human populations. Ghostly genes from super-archaic hominin found in late human species - Archaeology. A New ‘Four Stranded DNA’ Structure Has Been Discovered In Living Human Cells. Francis Crick (June 8, 1916 — July 28, 2004) was an English scientist who was most noted for being a co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 alongside James D. Watson. In his book published in 1982, Life Itself, he argues that there is no possible way that the DNA molecule could have gotten its start here on Earth and that it had to have come here from somewhere else.

Within the mainstream scientific community, the generally accepted theory is that we are the result of a bunch of molecules accidentally bumping into each other, creating life. However, according to Francis, we are the result of what is now known as Directed Panspermia. Crick and British chemist, Leslie Orgel, published their paper on it in July of 1973. Their theory explains that, “organisms were deliberately transmitted to Earth by intelligent beings on another planet. How unlocking the secrets of African DNA could change the world. It's official: Native Americans and Siberians are cousins. Man at the Altai Eagle Festival and Native American Indian man. Outdoor portrait profile. Alamy/Legion Media After more than a century of speculation, an international group of geneticists has conclusively proven that the Aztecs, Incas, and Iroquois are closely related to the peoples of Altai, the Siberian region that borders China and Mongolia.

Scientists have suspected for a long time that Native Americans are closely related to the peoples of Altai. The theory of the Altai peoples migrating from Siberia across Chukotka and Alaska, down to the Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America, appeared almost a century ago. Why Human DNA Might Be The Product of Another Intelligence. Life is becoming increasingly more complex. With the rise of the internet, we have access to more information than at any other time in recorded history. The information keeps increasing in a world that has become more and more unstable through economic meltdown, climate change, loss of privacy, and the inevitable corruption of government and authoritarian institutions.

Despite these incredible technological advancements, most people in our world still live in poverty – and even in ‘developed’ countries, life has become a struggle, with many individuals facing great uncertainties regarding their future.
