Researchers in Sweden have developed a method for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and DNA analysis to date human remains up to 10,000 years old. The new method, Temporal Population Structure (TPS), allows for dating genomes up to 10,000 years old. The researchers analyzed about 5,000 human remains from the Late Mesolithic (10,000–8,000
