什么是 Ancient DNA？

David Reich's team found that the Bronze Age (around 4,000–5,000 years ago) was humanity’s most intense evolutionary turning point—stronger than the shift to agriculture—based on analysis of over 20,000 ancient genomes.

The current model of human evolution involving modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans is overly complex and potentially flawed, requiring a simpler theoretical framework.

Human intelligence evolution significantly slowed around 2,000 years ago, linked to the rise of agricultural societies and reduced selective pressure.
