Whereas today the Earth has a solid crust with only a core of liquid magma, when Earth first formed billions of years ago it was a living moving ocean of liquid molten rock hundred of kilometres deep. Or only 20,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, the whole northern hemisphere was covered in an ice sheet 2 miles thick. It's a crazy fluke-ish miracle that we're even here!
Wow! We just keep learning more and more about the past and it is fascinating. History goes back so much longer than the short time humans have been here on this planet.
True, but these samples are only about 2 million years old. Hominids go back 5 or 6 million years. Though modern humans are probably a little bit less than a million years old.

I too thought of this. But I've come to the conclusion that climatic changes are more likely the cause of a warm Greenland. An increase of less than 3° C in North Atlantic Current could raise Arctic temperatures significantly. For 65 million years reptiles had it warm enough to inhabit the entire planet.

If you're asking that, you're probably aware that the Earth's axis DOES change angle, on a 40,000 year cycle (one of the Milankovitch cycles). But only by about one degree. That DOES play a role in ice ages and other types of global climate change, but by itself it's not enough to drive it. Many other factors play a role as well.
@@araptuga I agree. And that 40K year cycle doesn't really correspond well to the ice ages. I'm of the opinion that it is fluctuations of solar output, at least as triggering events.

Tough to extrapolate, but this research certainly indicates that on earth the right combination of medium (in this case, clay-dominant soil) plus essential climatic/temperature conditions allows DNA to be preserved for millions of years. I do know that dna/rna building blocks (nucleobases like guanine, adenine, cytosine & uracil) have been discovered in meteorite samples--there was an interesting study about this a couple of years ago. Scientists are suggesting it's thus possible the compounds on earth that encode genetic information in DNA could have originally had an extraterrestrial origin.

In a similar vein, asteroid dust brought back from the 2021 Hayabusa mission to near-Earth asteroid Itokawa was discovered to contain organic molecules including organic carbon and water, which are the prerequisites of organic life. And there's already widespread scientific agreement that the likely source of Earth's water is...extraterrestrial.

Ill give folk an idea of this DNA extraction process, it takes over 30 steps to get it out of whatever it is your taking it out of. I had a lecturer in college who was in the process of inventing a new extraction method and our class was the 2nd to be the guinea pigs to see if it worked. It was very difficult and the precision was a nightmare, you mess up one step and you have to start over. We did fairly well considering it was all experimental. We did it twice, once was identifying species from poop, and the second was identifying what had been in some clay pots, ie plant or animal oil.
This is because before the last Micronova/Poleshift life may have been silicon based. Things may have been A LOT bigger too. The Arctic may have been in a more temperate climate. This is probably why dating ice core samples is so hard.
Thank you for this information. Hoping my preserved DNA sample projects survive at least that long. Will have to look into the binding process for my next project I'm now working. Cheers. 👍👍
It is deceiving regarding "how" the DNA fragments were dated. Was it really that old? If you ask the scientists they will acknowledge that they are making assumptions.
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.
Amazing. So, if I understood well, in the same place of today's that frozen land, one million years ago the climate was much much more warm, with species that today only can be found at southern lands... My question: how can that be possible if the sun radiation was the same than today? I also want to underline that in this region they suffered, as today, long periods without sun, which implies even more interrogation about the real reasons of the climate change.
@@CraftEccentricity Such dreck. This video is talking about changes of as little as 5° C over MILLIONS of years--that's climate. It's taken a full 20,000 years for the planet to warm just 5 degrees C since the last Ice Age. Since 1880 the Earth's temp has already risen more than 1° C. IN LESS THAN 150 YEARS. That's not climate, that's rapid, devastating man-made changes to earth's temperatures & environment.
@johndodson8464 Did you listen to the video? The unique geographic/climatic features of Greenland over the last 2 million years are what allowed this DNA to be preserved & now found. The DNA indicates warm-climate plant & animal life 2 million years ago, but the combination of soils & subsequent ice-age cold temperatures since then have preserved the DNA. Most of the northern hemisphere was covered with up to 2 miles of ice sheet during the various ice ages over the last 2 million years. They mentioned Greenland's 'extreme seasonality' several times. Or you know, just think back to what you were taught in your Grade 11 geography class.

@@johndodson8464 Seriously? Many warm weather areas became ice covered as we have gone through several ice ages. Damn, go back to school.
@@leehamilton4459 Wow, cuss words really show your pedigree. I'll go back and read that chapter about horseshoe crabs wearing parkas.
@johndodson8464
Did you listen to the video? The unique geographic/climatic features of Greenland over the last 2 million years are what allowed this DNA to be preserved & now found. The DNA indicates warm-climate plant & animal life 2 million years ago, but the combination of soils & subsequent ice-age cold temperatures since then have preserved the DNA. Most of the northern hemisphere was covered with up to 2 miles of ice sheet during the various ice ages over the last 2 million years.
They mentioned Greenland's 'extreme seasonality' several times. Or you know, just think back to what you were taught in your Grade 11 geography class.
Awww man, I knew I shouldn't have left that there.
What if, Greenland wasn't always so far north?
Was the certificate guaranteeing that it is 2 million years old present with the sample?
That isn’t a method used to make such a determination.
@@moonshoes11 I know but the method that is used is definitely less than 100% accurate. Lots of it is guesswork based on nothing definite.
@@mikeabc5355
Dude, you’re looking for a certificate.
You know nothing about the methods used or their accuracy.
And you probably believe in magic.
@@moonshoes11 “dude you’re looking for a certificate” clapback of 2022 thank you mr Moon 😂❤
@@moonshoes11 Ahmmmmm, you do. It was self riches low IQ individuals that insisted vaccines would prevent you from getting covid and passing it to others but as it turned out it was all BS, however, the pharmaceutical industry made billions. Science is going from one error to another. At one time bleeding a person with fiver was leading-edge science but completely wrong. Don't be so dogmatic and think that your delusion is absolute truth. Do you belive in absolutes?
What does AyKShieNT mean?
*#Interesting*
Life goes on...
Well well. They found the proof.
Wow. I can only wonder what we will find in the future in our analysis of soil in the exploration of outer space. Could we recognize alien DNA?
Was not frozen but lush green and wooded areas
So just a year ago you would have been called a conspiracy theorist if you suggested you could recover 2 million year old sample, but now... it's just truth, so obvious that debate is no longer needed... wild right?
We'll be ancient history soon.
Maybe we should start sequencing oil
Seems like it's usually a female reporter on pbs and npr and they usually sound very young and talk in a childlike crackly voice and also all sound the same. Got any normal sounding reporters? I've already read how npr gives training to reporters on how to speak a certain way, a robot school.
And how do we know it’s 2M years old?
Oh that’s right, they used the strata to judge the age of the fossil. But how did they know how old the strata was? Well, they used the fossil to determine the age of the strata.

Uh, "who" said that it was this old (dna)? No one is "the" final word on dna.
Where's Waldo?
Wow so cool literally cool.

cool

Greetings from America, graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in science and technology, the current find is interesting to me by the 3rd power. lol Congratulations to the scientists.
DNA binds to clay and God formed Adam from clay, interesting
God is imaginary. Please don't inject your stupid mythology into scientific inquiry. It has no place, here.
So did god create Adam or was he already in the clay?
New specimen means new knowledge and new inovasion
Imagine believing that someone can say something is over millions of years old when they cant prove that at all. There is no way they can say how something looks after like millions of years.. If you believe those ppl, you should be ashamed
Ok boomer
This destroys creationists.😂
Drop the music!
I did not know DNA was electrically charged. I shoulda, but I didna.
greenland was prob on the equator at one point, shifting magnetic poles and asteriod changed things.
May be why dating ice core samples is so hard? A crustal shift may be our near future too.
Maybe 400 million years ago, but not a mere two million years ago. The continents haven't shifted that much in that time frame. Tectonic plates take a *LOOONG* time to move that far. There are sites online that can show you where the tectonic plates were positioned at various points in time, if you care to go look.
@@DrachenGothik666 the crust is sitting on liquid lava, you dont think a rogue planet passing thru the system cant tug at our crust and put the America at the north pole as it zippes outta the solar system?
@@BlazinRiver1 No such thing as a crustal shift. That's not how plate tectonics works. Somebody must think the movie 2012 was a documentary. lol
So maybe those saying that global warming is a hoax are not wrong after all.
Yes. The more extreme weather events, severe droughts, floods, melting glaciers, increasing forest fires and extreme temperatures are just a hoax. And, the Titanic is unsinkable.
pretty cool, can`t say i understood a word of what those scientists said - but it looked like they are having fun. lol?
There's no million with the age of the universe
Oh how cute. A ken Ham fan.
Go on. You really believe the universe was "created" at around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC don't you?
🙂
@@bakedbean37 you just read the Bible and do some math
@@nancypenner4179 Save your breath.
Your brain appears to be starved of oxygen.
Earth was not here 2 million years ago, dna lasting 2 million years?
Soft tissue does not last 50,000 years let alone millions of years.
Just let me know when we are getting dinosaurs!
Súper interesting 🤨
So it's alien life form
