This is wild—scientists just ID’d a 12,000-year-old Italian teen girl with a super rare form of dwarfism, all from her DNA! She was only 3'7" and had a genetic disorder that shortened her arms and legs. Even crazier, this is the oldest confirmed DNA diagnosis of a genetic disease in humans ever. Her community cared for her, and she was buried next to her mom or sister. Ancient family love and science breakthroughs all in one! #History #AncientHistory #Genetics
