Rescued Island: Inuk

Hey there.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – by Maggie Fox. Scientists have sequenced the DNA from four frozen hairs of a Greenlander who died 4,000 years ago in a study they say takes genetic technology into several new realms.

..and….

He had the genes for early hair loss, too. “Because we found quite a lot of hair from this guy, we presume he actually died quite young,” Willerslev* said.

You just had to shine your flashlight on that one tidbit of info, eh Maggie Fox?

Welcome back, Inuk. You and Ben Affleck can get to know each other. And if you want to go back to the glacier we dragged you out of, we understand.
