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?
