See stunning likeness of Zlatý kůň, the oldest modern human to be genetically sequenced

In 1950, archaeologists found a severed cranium buried deep inside a cave system in Czechia (the Czech Republic). As a result of the cranium was cut up in half, researchers concluded that the skeletal stays have been of two separate people. Nevertheless, via genome sequencing executed a long time later, scientists concluded that the cranium really belonged to a single particular person: a girl who lived 45,000 years in the past.

Researchers named her the Zlatý kůň lady, or “golden horse” in Czech, in a nod to a hill above the cave system. Additional evaluation of her DNA revealed that her genome carried roughly 3% Neanderthal ancestry, that she was a part of a inhabitants of early fashionable people who doubtless mated with Neanderthals and that her genome was the oldest fashionable human genome ever to be sequenced.
