The 8,500-Year-Old Skeletons Found In A Texas Cave — And The Ancient DNA Mystery Hidden Inside
The specific genetic information that would complete the picture of Early Archaic Texas populations might be preserved in a site whose conditions were more favorable for DNA preservation than those of the known sites.
Science advances.
Methods improve.
What seems impossible today may be routine in a generation.
The specific question of ancient DNA from early Holocene Texas populations may be answered not from the known sites — whose physical evidence has been partially consumed by analysis and partially returned to the earth — but from new sites, excavated with new methods, under protocols developed with the benefit of the experience accumulated from earlier cases.
The limestone keeps its archives.
