DNA Studies

Around the village of Plouhinec, in the Finister of Brittany, is the archaeological site. There researcher Eva María Geigi has taken DNA samples from a bone of a layer of 465,000 years ago and has announced that they belong to an animal related to the horse.

The technique of this scientist, who operates at the Jacques Monod Institute in Paris, is to compare fossil DNA with the animals that live today. This technique began to be applied in Egyptian mummies in 1985.
