Professor Chris Stringer, who is a researcher of the human origins at London’s Natural History Museum, considered the discovery of human DNA through finger bones to be a really exciting development. An international team of researchers extracted this mitochondrial DNA from the bone.
An unidentified DNA has been found in a Siberian Cave. This DNA is considered to be around 48,000 and 30,000 old. This bone was compared with the genetic code of the modern humans as well as that of the Netherlands. The genetic material found from the fossil shows that it is quite different from that of Netherlands or even the modern humans.
Apart from the finger bone, several ornaments including a bracelet have been unearthed from the same layer. The discovery reflects a poorly understood process of human evolution in the central as well as the eastern Asia.
At the same time, there is also a possibility that there are three forms of humans namely Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and the species represented by X-woman. It might happen that they have met each other at some point of time in Siberia. The main analysis was carried on by Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
