About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Rules

I don’t care as much about the HIV resistance as I do about the ability to live nine thousand years.

The article only talks about the existence and distribution of this mutation in Denmark.

Is there some resource, where to see the world wide distribution?
Would be nice to see, how it "travelled"
