Richard Vaughan+FollowViking DNA’s Wild HIV Mutation Origin StoryTurns out, the gene mutation that helps some people resist HIV isn’t just a modern fluke—it traces back to one ancient human living near the Black Sea up to 9,000 years ago! Scientists found this by analyzing thousands of ancient genomes, showing the mutation spread fast as people migrated across Eurasia. It probably helped our ancestors survive new diseases, and now it’s key to HIV research. Ancient genetics are wild! #Science #VikingDNA #Genetics181Share
