Recovering hominin DNA from cave sediments

Re: Recovering hominin DNA from cave sediments
Interesting idea. Seems like looking for a needle in a haystack would be childs' play in comparison.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Re: Recovering hominin DNA from cave sediments
Yeah, think of all the DNA from other organisms... bacteria, mold, lichen, then there are insects & various vertebrates... A cosmically HUGE haystack! 
All that DNA lurking in the sediments of a relatively protected environment of a cave system. It boggles the mind.

That explains Trump and his followers.
Seems to make the sorting of DNA for the original story almost impossible.
Humans share almost all of our DNA with cats, cattle and mice
More than half of our genetic code is the same as a banana's
That explains Trump and his followers.

Re: Recovering hominin DNA from cave sediments
I found another article on this subject. It's from about the same time as the article in the original post. But it's more in depth & it includes citations. Enjoy!
