Mysteries Of Ancient Culture Revealed!!

Scientists have uncovered mysteries that were embedded in past and have revealed the mysteries of ancient human migration. One might get to know a lot after scientists analyzed the oldest ever human DNA evidence which was found in Africa. 
Researchers successfully have now sequenced genetic material from the people who are living from 15000 years in Morocco and they found a shared genetic heritage in the Eastern Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa with the populations.
By these fossils it was clear that Stone Age humans from Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa were interacting amongst each other much earlier than it was previously thought.
"Our analysis shows that North Africa and the Near East, even at this early time, were part of one region without much of a genetic barrier," said Mr Jeong.
The team also came up with analysis of DNA samples in which nine individuals were picked from Iberomaurusian culture in Taforalt which is a cave in northern Morocco and also the oldest known cemetery in the world.
Another study taught that these Iberomaurusians lived between 20,000 to 10,000 years ago and are regarded as the first humans who have produced finer stone tools called as microliths in North Africa.
Co-author Louise Humphrey, of the Natural History Museum in London said that Grotte des Pigeons is a crucial site to understand the human history especially of north-western Africa, since the modern humans have frequently inhabited this cave intensively while the prolonged periods of Middle and Later Stone Age were going on. The use of advanced sequencing methods enabled the team to recover DNA data from pre-dating of humans and faced the agricultural revolution in North Africa for the first time, that too 10,000 years ago.
It was also discovered that about two-thirds of the total Taforalt individuals’ heritage so closely matched from the DNA of ancient Natufians. Natufians is a culture that was present in the Eastern Mediterranean region about 11,500 years ago in the Middle East. Mr. Krause said that it is clear, that human populations interacted much more with groups from distant areas than it was previously assumed, this ultimately illustrate the ability of ancient genetics to add to our understanding of human history.
