Man i always have fantasies about greenland

You could have asked my mother in law for her dna, it’s 5million years old

@ 2:17 in the center of the screen. Do you see a picture upside down?

This needs more study and analysis from other sources of scientific professionals.

If this is dated that far back, who knows what other wonders or dangers lies beneath the ice. But human DNA over 2 million years old is a monumental discovery and changes things !

I wonder how old the dirt is below where he took his sample

The scientist’s voice reminded me of arnold schwarzneger

[michaelcerda]

So what the Indian texts says is true.

Say anything and add scientists in the end of sentence then whole world believes everything..

What instruments are used to measure the years🤔🤔🤔. Show your work please🤔

This isn't the world's oldest DNA -- it's not even the oldest DNA from that part of the world. Mummified wood from a 45-million-year-old semi-tropical forest on northern Canada's Axel Heiberg Island was sequenced by genetic researchers at the National University of Altai in Russia, and found to be almost identical to the DNA of modern woody plants.

Hope they find something soon. Humans have lost thier mind again

My aim is to make everybody focus ob one thing
This days everybody focus on everytbing bcause of IT and everyone is easily manipulated i don't like that

How do they know it's really from Greenland?
The site is near the ocean, the whatever thing they get from could be washed up from other part of the earth, not originally in Greenland. So you assumed it presented the landscape and climate there and then.
How about get the samples from the centre of Greenland far from the shores.

[pitikaron]

Hahaha 2 million years! how they figure out the date started.

[calistusfrancis]

I discovered 400 million DNA old in my backyard

[morrisadams]

We’ve experienced a lot of climate change since then.

[Christopher_Bachm]

What if, Greenland wasn't always so far north?

[NorThenX]

yep but the earth is 4000 years old right folks? 🤣🤣🤣 pRaISe jEsUS

[lankalion]

If human being exist that long what made the special era within last 100years for rapid development?

Animals and plants had hundreds of thousands of years, or longer to adapt to their warming world. If the world gets too hot too quickly, they won't be able to adapt and will die.
