What humans may have looked like 7,000 years ago (Valerie Coahuilas)
The Mesolithic skeleton found at the La Brana-Arintero site shows signs after DNA sampling of having belonged to a dark skinned, blue eyed human living at the time. The 7,000 year old remains showed signs of just what kind of diet the once living human indulged in and showed another interesting sign of the once living man to have been lactose-intolorent. That being said, the apparent immune system once present seemed to be an advanced one not thought to have been possible at that time. Its amazing just how much can be deduced from just examining the remains of a person , no matter how long ago. And the more technology grows, the more we can look back into.
