El lado femenino del descubrimiento del ADN

Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) Her X-ray photographs of crystallized DNA, taken in the early 1950s, proved that the molecule was a helix. This data was used, without her knowledge, by James Watson and Francis Crick to elucidate the structure of DNA. By the time they were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962, Franklin had died of ovarian cancer.

~"Genetic testing of villagers in a remote part of China has shown that nearly two thirds of their DNA is of Caucasian origin, lending support to the theory that they may be descended from a 'lost legion' of Roman soldiers." They had fled from the disastrous battle of Carrhae~

Mungo Man, discovered in 1974, was an early human inhabitant of the continent of Australia, who is believed to have lived between 68,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. The remains are the oldest anatomically modern human remains found in Australia to date.

World's Oldest DNA Of An Unknown Human Ancestor Could Rewrite Our History | MessageToEagle.com

World's oldest human DNA, containing evidence of an unknown species, has been recovered from a 400,000-year-old thigh bone. According to anthropologists, studying this DNA from human ancestors that are hundreds of thousands of years old shows a complex pattern of evolution in the origin of Neanderthals and modern humans. The bone belongs to a human, but contains ALIEN DNA. This remarkable finding is making scientists question everything they know about human evolution.

This discovery made by the researchers at the Australian Center for Ancient DNA really shocked the scientific world. They found out that the DNA obtained from the European skeletons of different ages and eras had a drastic change in the pattern around 4,500 years ago. Researchers concluded that something mysterious and dramatic occurred at that period of time, something that changed the course of European and human history..
