Until recently, scientists trying to Ffxiv Gil retrace our evolution havefocused primarily on bones uncovered in tropical environments, suchas the famous Australopithecus skeleton known as Lucy. Butimportant human relatives like Neanderthals and Denisovans livedalongside our ancestors as far north as Siberia.
This new research provides a scaffold to build upon as genomedetectives push the one million year threshold. And as DNAsequencing technology marches forward, geneticists are able toreach further back in time. But the Thistle Creek horse reminds usthat decoding a DNA sequence only tells part of the story.Researchers around the world continue to analyse the genetics ofhorses past and present using this data as their guide, perhaps oneday identifying the changes that moulded modernhorses.
As scientists amass more and more sequencing data from less andless starting material at an ever faster pace, they promise to keeptheir colleagues busy figuring out what it all means for many yearsto come.
