Researchers have gleaned genetic information from an African hominin that lived two million years ago, the oldest such data yet recovered.
The protein sequences, described in a preprint posted on the bioRxiv server on 3 July1, come from several Paranthropus robustus tooth fossils found in a South African cave.
These genetic data are the oldest that have been collected from any hominin, pushing back the genetic record to times and places previously unthinkable, scientists say.
