Medieval Finland’s Sibling Connection Revealed by DNA - Medievalists.net

Ancient DNA from two 12th-century burials in Finland has revealed they were siblings, offering rare evidence of medieval family ties and cen

thinking about jean, specifically his breakdown. I need to protect him from the world.

I need to get out of my own head

To leave my whole past

Get new thoughts, new feelings

A whole new life

I never wanted this one

These days neither do I see or hear

Heavy eyes are being held up by bloody fingertips

In my ears, someones' put a moderator

Making me unable of hearing

Today, I shouted my pain out

So loud, it left an echo in the walls

I didn't want this thing called living

I never wanted this thing called living

Then words were drowned by tears and I

Was standing weak at my knees

Between concrete buildings

With a growing fear while filling my lungs with darkness

Today, I shouted my pain out

So loud, it left an echo in the walls

I didn't want this thing called living

I never wanted this thing called living

DNA found in fossils? What is that all about

DNA is completely ubiquitous in most fossil finds (verified), once written off as contamination a closer look and with new technology there are chromosomes and proteins of real dinosaurs. How can it be there? To date there is no empirical evidence to suggest DNA can last 7 Million years under ideal conditions and extremely low temperatures, in fact buried fossil bone at ~13c does not preserve a 242bp DNA segment more than 6,000 years. 

Scientists have had over 10 years to answer the fact that aDNA does not last 10's of millions of years, there is still no explanation to date!

Here is the paper and quote at the center of the controversy: However, the half-life predictions (table 1) display the extreme improbability that an authentic 174 bp long mtDNA fragment of an 80–85 Myr old bone could have been amplified [1]. 

Claims of extreme survival of DNA have emphasized the need for reliable models of DNA degradation through time. By analysing mitochondrial D

And Proteins: This citation supports not only dinosaur DNA recovered but multiple proteins..."Molecular analyses of dinosaur osteocytes support the presence of endogenous molecules" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23085295/

In my opinion this is the end to dinosaurs in deep time, it is a qualified scientific finding that totally changes paleontology and geologic dating in its entirety…

Any answers, your opinions welcome.

Ancient DNA study shows women at the centre of societies in iron age Britain – supporting decades of archaeology

Genetics shows that women stayed put in Late Iron Age Dorset, while men moved to other groups.

"A scientific study with important implications for archaeology in Britain and France was published last week. Using ancient DNA analysis and testing, a team led by Dr Lara Cassidy and Professor Daniel Bradley from Trinity College Dublin successfully demonstrated that iron age people who were buried in Dorset from 100BC to AD100 practised matrilocality."

"...While some of the press coverage about the new research portrayed the findings as a surprise, archaeologists were far from shocked. Headlines suggesting that this was the first evidence of its kind, failed to convey the fact that female-focused social structures have previously been suggested for some iron age groups by archaeologists – and for some time."

"...Of course, we must remain clear that grave wealth may not equate to leadership, and archaeologists remain critical about that link. Yet, we do find some mention of female leadership in the classical texts."

This is a really cool read that touches on how researchers assumptions about patriarchy and the natural order have shaped our understanding and interpretation of past societies.
