Paleogenetika (Paleogenetics)

Modern paleogenetics — the study of ancient DNA — has revealed surprising insights about human origins.

Key Discoveries

  1. Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA — Modern humans carry DNA from other hominid species
  2. Mitochondrial Eve — All living humans trace their maternal lineage to a woman who lived ~200,000 years ago
  3. Human Genome — The human genome contains evidence of ancient population bottlenecks

Connection to Sitchin

Sitchin argued that humanity was genetically engineered ~300,000 years ago. The existence of other hominid DNA in modern humans, and the "missing link" in the fossil record, are cited by his followers as supporting evidence.
