Turns out, early medieval England wasn’t as homogenous as history class made it seem! DNA from 1,400-year-old skeletons just revealed that people with recent Nigerian ancestry were living among the Anglo-Saxon elite—one girl was even buried in a royal cemetery in Kent. Her grandparent likely crossed the Sahara as a slave, but the family ended up rubbing elbows with royalty. Mind. Blown. History is way more global than we thought! #History #HistoryRevealed #DNA
