説明

<jats:title>Tracing our ancestors in cave sediments</jats:title> <jats:p> Analysis of DNA from archaic hominids has illuminated human evolution. However, sites where thousand-year-old bones and other remains can be found are relatively rare. Slon <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> wanted to exploit any trace remains that our ancestors left behind. They looked for ancient DNA of hominids and other mammals in cave sediments, even those lacking skeletal remains. They identified mitochondrial DNA from Neandertal and Denisovan individuals in cave sediments at multiple sites. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6338" page="605" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="356" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aam9695">605</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
