Summary
Health Study found genetic adaptation related to starch digestion that gained strength about 10,000 years ago 10/08/2026 18:11 PepsiCo Disclosure Thousands of years consuming a potato-rich diet may have left a mark on the DNA of indigenous Andes populations. Among the Quechuas, the median was 10 copies of AMY1; and among the Mayans, six. No, this specific study did not aim to determine the age of tissue through methods such as carbon-14.
Furthermore, However, a curious detail drew attention: one of the lineages was identical to that of one of the doctors who collected tissue samples in 1978.
