61%的异族通婚和在中世纪西班牙洞穴居住社区的DNA排序中发现的暴力证据。 61% endogamy and evidence of violence found in DNA sequencing of a medieval Spanish cave-dwelling community.
在《科学进步》杂志上发表的一项开创性研究揭示了对西班牙北部中世纪基督教社区的新洞察力,该社区生活在6世纪至11世纪的人工洞穴中。 A groundbreaking study published in Science Advances reveals new insights into a medieval Christian community in northern Spain who lived in artificial caves from the 6th to the 11th century. 来自布尔戈斯省拉斯戈巴斯定居点的39具遗骸的DNA测序,揭示了他们的祖先、关系和疾病,使人们对欧洲历史上动荡时期这个农村洞穴居住社区的生活有了独特的了解。 DNA sequencing of 39 remains from the Las Gobas settlement in Burgos province sheds light on their ancestry, relationships, and diseases, providing a unique understanding of life in this rural cave-dwelling community during a tumultuous period in European history. 研究发现有血缘关系的证据,其中大约61%的样本显示有同族通婚的迹象,这表明该社区只在其群体内结婚。 The study found evidence of inbreeding, with approximately 61% of the sample showing signs of endogamy, suggesting that the community married only within their group. 研究还发现了暴力证据,在定居点早期阶段,有两具骨骼显示头部有被剑击的痕迹。 The research also uncovered evidence of violence, with two skeletons from the early phase of settlement showing signs of sword blows to the head. 此外,在猪等家畜中常见的细菌Erysipelothitrix rhusiopathiae的存在表明,饲养牲畜是社区生活方式的重要组成部分。 Additionally, the presence of the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, commonly found in domestic animals such as pigs, indicates that keeping livestock was an essential part of the community's lifestyle.
