This goes back a few years, but is still relevant. A Cro-Magnon DNA sequence of 28,000 years old was obtained from fossils discovered in Italy’s Paglicci cave. It was found that the fossil DNA sequence was identical to the DNA sequence of various modern Europeans, indicating lack of a change in DNA for at least 28,000 years. Well, if that is not a racial heritage, nothing is.

“The Paglicci 23 individual carried a mtDNA sequence that is still common in Europe, and which Cro-Magnoid to modern Europeans. Because all potential sources of modern DNA contamination are known, the Paglicci 23 sample will offer a unique opportunity to get insight for the first time into the nuclear genes of early modern Europeans.”
