[Molecular genetic analysis for taxonomic determination of fossil skull fragments of Warendorf-Neuwarendorf].
The isolation and examination DNA segments from prehistoric and fossil bone samples has become one of the biggest challenges in anthropology within the past years. By using specially developed and/or adapted genetic methods, it is possible under laboratory conditions to amplify portions of DNA from bone remains in states of good preservation by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA sequence data can provide far more specific answers to palaeanthropological questions than one would expect solely by morphologic comparison. Here we introduce an alternative approach for the classification of total ancient DNA by means of Southern hybridisation techniques.
