Atacama Skeleton Is A Mutant, Not An Alien | Inverse

Atacama Skeleton Is A Mutant, Not An Alien in Chile Archaeology Discovery! A team of researchers from the University of California San Francisco, together with members of the Stanford University team who first characterized Ata as a human female, show through genetic profiling that she carries 64 genetic mutations, many of which have never been seen. A further bioinformatics analysis showed that these genes greatly affected Ata’s skeletal system, resulting in her abnormally tiny stature and her scant 10 pairs of ribs. Most humans have 12. Inverse sparks curiosity about the future. We explore the science of anything, innovations that shape tomorrow, and ideas that stretch our minds. Our goal is to motivate the next generation to build a better world. atacama tech archaeology discovery chile #atacama #alien #inverse
