How far can we get human genetic information? What's the oldest ancient DNA? It's tricky because DNA degrades over time. However, fortunately proteins can bind to minerals in our teeth and provide a wealth of information. This is the science of paleo-proteomics. Join me as I investigate how proteins can store genetic information, what can that tell us about human evolution and who was paranthropus robustus?
