Tut DNA Update
Posted by MSH under: Ancient Egypt; Ancient Studies & Technology .
The examination of the DNA of Tut’s family is becoming a clinic in how mainstream “archeo-journalism” commits paleobabble. The discussion among people who care and know whereof they speak continues (and this blog will continue to make sure you know about it). But journalists? They’ve moved on after (what else is new) dismissing the need to temper their headlines or re-examine conclusions.

What type of DNA test would I have to take in order to find out if I am a relative of Yuya? Michael J. Boryla
