Dear MEL Topic
Readers,
DNA secrets of
Ice Age Europe unlocked
Analysis versus
guessing. That seems to be the difference what DNA provides to anthropology
these days. Before DNA analysis, it was like guessing from the look, structures
and characteristics of the human remains in comparison with others.
Now
anthropologists have become scientists who analyze what’s really in the remains
genetically, so that they can compare the findings with other genetic compounds.
In short, as
one professor in the article says, it’s like observing how the batter a cake is
made in each process, instead of guessing what the batter was made of by the
taste or chemical analysis.
Enjoy reading
and learning how much DNA analysis can bring about.
