A new study has sequenced the genetic remains of the oldest modern humans in Europe. The humans lived around 45,000 years ago in Bacho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria. The researchers have found that the early human group in Europe contributed genes to the later people.
The researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany found that the early humans genetic related to present-day East Asians. The study has been published in the journal Nature. The researchers also identified Neandertal DNA in the genes of the Bacho Kiro Cave people. It showed that they had Neandertal ancestors about five to seven generations back.

Taipei, Dec. 24 (CNA) A team of archaeologists from Taiwan and other countries has found that the origins of the Chamorro people in Guam are closely linked to the indigenous peoples of the northern Philippines, whose ancestry can be traced back to Taiwan.
In a recent study titled Ancient DNA from Guam and the peopling of the Pacific, the research team said DNA tracing suggested that the Chamorros had migrated from Taiwan to the Philippines and crossed the sea to Guam.
