Where this comes from

Abstract

Approximately 170 researchers interested in reconstructing the past convened for the 2nd International Conference on Ancient DNA, held in Washington, D.C., from 7 to 9 October. While rejuvenated celluloid dinosaurs have grabbed headlines this year, these scientists were more concerned with topics such as tracing ancient human populations and understanding how DNA can survive the millennia.
