AI Article Synopsis
- Ancient DNA (aDNA) research has greatly enhanced our understanding of evolution, migration, and diseases since its inception in 1984, revealing surprising insights about human ancestry and extinct species.
- There's a noticeable divide in aDNA research capabilities and published results between the Global North and Global South, highlighting the need for better collaboration and technology transfer for researchers in less developed regions.
- The current study aims to broaden the discussion in aDNA by reviewing global literature and addressing both advancements and challenges within the field.
Article Abstract
Ancient DNA (aDNA) research first began in 1984 and ever since has greatly expanded our understanding of evolution and migration. Today, aDNA analysis is used to solve various puzzles about the origin of mankind, migration patterns, and the spread of infectious diseases. The incredible findings ranging from identifying the new branches within the human family to studying the genomes of extinct flora and fauna have caught the world by surprise in recent times. However, a closer look at these published results points out a clear Global North and Global South divide. Therefore, through this research, we aim to emphasize encouraging better collaborative opportunities and technology transfer to support researchers in the Global South. Further, the present research also focuses on expanding the scope of the ongoing conversation in the field of aDNA by reporting relevant literature published around the world and discussing the advancements and challenges in the field.
