Led by a team of international researchers, this large-scale genomic analysis, recently published in Nature 1 , analyzed nearly 6,000 Greenlandic individuals—an astonishing 14% of the adult population. Their findings not only rewrite the history of Inuit migration but also challenge the Eurocentric lens of modern genetics and medicine.

These European burials included individuals with "eastern-type" traits—characteristics often associated with nomadic steppe traditions. The researchers found no widespread East Asian ancestry among the European populations of the Carpathian Basin following the Huns' arrival. Related Research de Barros Damgaard, P.,

However, recent research challenges this narrative, emphasizing the pivotal role of human interactions and demographic dynamics in this monumental change. Research indicates that early European farmers did not entirely displace local hunter-gatherers. Instead, there was a prolonged period of coexistence and genetic admixture.

The Engraved Stones of the Levant The researchers focused on five artifacts from four archaeological sites: Manot Cave, Amud Cave, Qafzeh Cave, and Quneitra. Credit: Erella Hovers To determine whether these incisions were intentional engravings or merely the result of tool use, researchers applied advanced 3D surface analysis.

It is therefore not surprising that this time period—the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition—has been a focus of research for many archaeologists, physical anthropologists, and, more recently, geneticists. Using a method called proteomics, researchers determined this nondescript bone fragment from Ilsenhöhle Cave belonged to a human.

Assistant Secretary of Education Kenneth Marcus said the department was reopening the case “on the basis of actual or perceived shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics” that would constitute a violation of federal discrimination laws, and thus fall under the agency’s description.
