The 4,500-Year-Old Egyptian Man Found In A Tomb — And The DNA Test That Revealed His Unexpected Ancestry
The Dental Evidence And Physical Anthropology
Beyond the genetic analysis, the physical anthropological examination of NUE001’s remains contributed important information about who he was in biological terms.
Joel Irish, the physical anthropologist at Liverpool John Moores University who is a co-author of the study and who has spent his career studying ancient North African and Near Eastern dental and skeletal populations, contributed analysis of NUE001’s dental morphology — the shapes and features of the teeth — alongside the genetic work.
Dental morphology analysis is an established method in physical anthropology for studying population relationships.
