- This study examines an Upper Palaeolithic infant skeleton, Le Mura 1, from Grotta delle Mura in Italy, using various scientific methods including palaeogenomics and dental analyses.
- The remains, dated to approximately 17,320-16,910 cal BP, provide insights into the infant's development, health issues, and the mother's low mobility during pregnancy.
- The findings suggest a notable population turnover in the region and a decrease in genetic variation from northern to southern Italy, enhancing our understanding of early human life and genetics at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum.
