Scientists have analysed DNA extracted from the remains of a 30,000-year-old European hunter-gatherer.
>
The researchers were able to assign the Kostenki individual to haplogroup "U2", which is relatively uncommon among modern populations.
U2 appears to be scattered at low frequencies in populations from South and Western Asia, Europe and North Africa.
Despite its rarity, the very presence of this haplogroup in today's Europeans suggests some continuity between Palaeolithic hunters and the continent's present-day inhabitants, argue the authors of the latest study.

Clearly, early Europeans whined loudly and called it “music” and were incurable liberal idiots.

I was once a member of the band Haplogroup “X”, though we got scattered due to low popularity. We did roam the earth in search of food and such (you know, the icky stuff you do to preserve the species...) but that was between or in spite of gigs.

Posted on a holiday.
I sure hope there are FR’s out there that can add science to this bulletin broadcast by the BBC beside the sillness contained thus far. It sure doesn’t look like what you and I were hoping for, is happening from what’s being posted thus far. Thanks for the post

More accurate ways of sequencing DNA might answer a lot of questions about human history. While there is a tendency for newer populations to displace the older ones there should hopefully be a little trace of the older populations lurking around. The ability to sort out the modern DNA and bacterial contamination of the DNA is a essential development in understanding the past.

Nope, my remains will probably show up in Sam’s Club. Lean frozen ribs or something.

My grandmother and
Cheddar Man are in haplogroup U5a. A branch off from U2.

As much as I love these posts, none of it makes sence. There is a lot of conjugeture based on a small amount of evidense. I would bet that much will be tossed in the future but my estate would have to collect.
