Archaeogenetics

Archaeogenetics is the study of ancient DNA, which involves analyzing genetic material recovered from archaeological remains to understand human history, migration patterns, and the evolution of cultures. By applying genetic techniques to ancient human remains, archaeogenetics provides valuable insights into the past, shedding light on the origins of modern populations, the spread of diseases, and the impact of environmental changes on human societies, making it a crucial interdisciplinary field that combines archaeology, genetics, and anthropology to reconstruct the human past.
