Scientists Crack 4000 Year Old "Iceman" DNA - Artists Rendering

Scientists crack ancient iceman's DNA code

New research on a clump of hair found buried deep in the ice of Greenland has revealed a snapshot of what ancient man looked like.

To date DNA sequencing has used modern samples from living people, but this is the first time material from an extinct culture has been used.

For the first time scientists have sequenced the entire genome of an ancient man by using a sample of hair that was extracted from the permafrost.

It has revealed some of ancient man's physical traits, including his tendency for baldness.

The findings, published in the latest issue of Nature, have also challenged conventional wisdom on migration patterns of humans 5,000 years ago.

Professor David Lambert, an expert on evolutionary biology at Queensland's Griffith University, says he has analysed the research into the 4,000 year old man, who has been named as Inuk.

"He was very dark, he had very dark hair, he had a tendency for baldness and dark-coloured skin," he said.
"They even were able to pinpoint what kind of wax he had in his ears.

"This is historic, truly historic because for the very first time we're getting a snapshot of what our ancestors looked like. And I think that's pretty remarkable."

Scientists Have Found Fractal Patterns In Human "Junk DNA, That Are Consistent With The Fractals That Gnostics Linked To Regressive Aliens"

Scientists have found fractal patterns in human “junk” DNA, that are consistent with the fractals that the Gnostics linked to regressive aliens”

Arguably, the greatest challenge to humanity may be to re-affirm an invigorating context of empathy and peace with one another. Researchers suggest that this human challenge may very pivot on the ability of humanity to overcome regressive alien intrusions and deceptions.
 The historical testimonies of ancient communities, indigenous people, and modern eyewitnesses suggest that there is some kind of genetic programme that is being directed against humanity. This has been linked to accounts of alien abductions. Furthermore, scholars like Zecharia Sitchin suggest regressive aliens travelled to Earth during an ancient era, to pursue the creation of alien-human hybrids as a “ruling caste”. David Icke, supported by the testimony of African elder Credo Mutwa, suggest that these alien-human hybrids continue to preside over Earth’s institutions.

However, before dismissing outright such claims, the unprejudiced “scientific mind” would tend to critically query such a representation.

Indigenous knowledge along with the insights on “pagan” (pre-Christian) Gnostics suggests that humanity, all living things on Earth, along with the Earth itself are all one. If we at least for a moment, embrace such an insight, then, what accounts for the apparently spiralling decent of humanity into social and environmental destruction? Most people, it would seem, would love to protect the environment, and ensure a context for social justice among people, that affirms human quality-of-living. If that is the case, then what is holding humanity back? Humans seek the protection of their environment are also seeking a context of peace and social justice, because apparently at least subconsciously, humanity does in fact recognize its “oneness” with one another, and with the Earth in general.

Now add DNA to the catalogue of things fractal-like. ‘There is some magical phenomenon going on that we just do not understand,’ says H. Eugene Stanley, a physicist at Boston University.

Physicists backed the suspicions a few years ago, when those studying fractals noticed certain patterns in junk DNA. They found that noncoding sequences display what are termed long-range correlations. That is, the position of a nucleotide depends to some extent on the placement of other nucleotides. Their patterns follow a fractal-like property called 1/f noise, which is inherent in .many physical systems that evolve over time, such as electronic circuits, periodicity of earthquakes and even traffic patterns. In the genome, however, the long-range correlations held only for the non-coding sequences; the coding parts exhibited an uncorrelated pattern. Those signs suggested that junk DNA might contain some kind of organized information. To decipher the message, Stanley and his colleagues Rosario N. Mantegna, Sergey V. Buldyrev and Shlomo Haviin collaborated with Amy L Goldberg, Chung-Kang Peng and Michael Simons of Harvard Medical School. They borrowed from the work of linguist George K. Zipf who by looking at texts from several languages ranked the frequency with which words occur. Plotting the rank of words against those in a text produces a distinct relation. The most common word “the” in English occurs 10 times ,than the 10th most common word, 100 times more often than the 100th most common, and so forth.
