The petrous bone contains high concentrations of osteocytes: one possible reason why ancient DNA is better preserved in this bone

2022-05-20

Abstract excerpt

The characterization of ancient DNA in fossil bones is providing invaluable information on the genetics of past human and other animal populations. These studies have been aided enormously by the discovery that ancient DNA is relatively well preserved in the petrous bone compared to most other bones. The reasons for this better preservation are however not well understood. Here we examine the hypothesis that one r...
