12000 Year Old Preserved Human Brains Baffle Scientists Challenges Decay Assumptions

Scientists have discovered preserved brains 12 thousand years old. This discovery is shocking because it is believed that after the death of a person, the brain starts destroying rapidly. But scientists have found 4400 such brains preserved which have remained intact for thousands of years.

The research has been led by Alexandra Morton Hayward of Oxford University. Research obtained information about these brains through a global survey of archaeological records. These brains have lived in many types of environments. They have lived from the deserts of Egypt to the peat bogs of Europe. search for PProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Has been published in.

The study is also important because it opposes all the speculations that the brain is one of those parts of the body that starts deteriorating rapidly after a person’s death. Experts believe that these samples found can provide important information about the history of our development and the diseases that existed at that time.

These samples of old brains may provide new and unique paleobiological insights. So that scientists can better understand about major neurological diseases. Also, information can be obtained about the development of brain capacity, behavior and system tissues present at that time and their function. The discovery is also important because preserving soft tissue in natural conditions is extraordinary in itself. Brains can help analyze old biomolecules, revealing much about life and death in ancient times.
