The pendant is 20,000 years old. Ancient DNA shows who wore it
Quick Glance: DNA from 20,000-year-old pendant reveals owner's identity
  • A woman in Siberia wore a pendant made from a deer tooth 20,000 years ago.

  • Analysis of the pendant from Denisova Cave showed DNA from an elk and a human female, likely the maker or wearer of the ornament.

  • The team also found human genetic material in the sediments in which the tooth was encased.

  • Deciphering ancient DNA remains a challenge due to contamination from modern genetic materials.
