In the last few years, pioneering research has shattered the silence around prehistoric epidemics by analyzing microbial DNA from ancient human skeletons, revealing viruses like adenovirus, herpesvirus, and papillomavirus in 50,000-year-old Neanderthal bones.
Advances in ancient DNA extraction technology have significantly transformed our understanding of prehistory, highlighting the impact of genetic material analyses on uncovering valuable insights into ancient populations and diseases.
