30,000-year-old DNA reveals Ice Age Europeans were far more connected than we thought
Scientists have uncovered surprising DNA evidence that Europeans living more than 30,000 years ago were connected across vast distances, challenging the idea that ancient populations remained largely isolated. Genetic clues from human remains and cave sediments reveal prehistoric migration, long-lasting communities, and survival through the harshest conditions of the Ice Age.
