    This year marks the 20th anniversary of human genome sequencing


    This review entitled "Insights into human history from the first decade of ancient human genomics" was published in the September 23 issue of "Science" magazine


    Ancient DNA research began with short DNA fragments, and later progress has been made due to the wide application of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology


    The genomes of extinct ancient humans (ie Neanderthals and Denisovans) have been reconstructed


    aDNA analysis showed that after the separation of ~550ka, ancient people and modern people were not isolated from each other


    As for early modern humans, genetic data support originated in Africa


    In Eurasia, genome data was obtained from early modern humans as early as about 45,000 years ago


    Professor Fu said: “During the last glacier period (LGM), a severe period of 27-19,000 years, population changes were observed in Europe, East Asia, and Siberia


    Ancient DNA research has effectively broadened our understanding of human history


    In addition to expanding our understanding of human history, aDNA research has also enhanced our understanding of human biology
