Scientists decoded the DNA of the famous Greek feta cheese, according to the Academy of Athens.
Recently, scientists from the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens studied a wide variety of feta cheese produced all across the nation of...
By analyzing ancient and modern DNA, scientists are uncovering the complex genetic origins of the Greek people, revealing a rich ancestral mosaic shaped over millennia.
Archaeological sites such as the Franchthi Cave on the Argolid peninsula have provided evidence of...
A groundbreaking genetic study has revealed that the DNA of the inhabitants of Mesa Mani (Inner Mani) constitutes a unique "genetic island" in Europe. Due to geographic isolation spanning over ten centuries, the population remains one of the most...
A recent DNA analysis on 777 ancient genomes from across the so-called Southern Arc, namely Southern Europe and West Asia, redirects the cradle of Indo-Europeans and sheds light on the Proto-Greek prehistoric past.
As is well known, the Greek language belongs...
The languages in the Indo-European family are spoken by almost half of the world’s population. This group includes a huge number of languages, ranging from English and Spanish to Russian, Kurdish and Persian.

Researchers say they have recovered RNA from the remains of a woolly mammoth that lived roughly 39,000 years ago, a finding that for the first time preserves direct molecular evidence of which genes were active in an Ice Age...
Researchers reported that a queen ant in southern Europe has become the first known animal to consistently produce offspring of different species, a finding that questions basic assumptions about reproduction and species boundaries.
Scientists studying the Iberian harvester ant, Messor...
A study of ancient DNA suggests that 63 percent of Europeans between 1,700 and 45,000 years ago had dark skin while 8 percent had pale skin. The rest had intermediate tones. It wasn’t until around 3,000 years ago that...
After going extinct approximately 10,000 years ago, the dire wolf has been brought back to life, marking a breakthrough in genetic science as the world’s first de-extinct animal.
This remarkable scientific achievement was accomplished thanks to DNA extracted from two...
