When a scientist from Oxford's Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine was assisting in the production of a television program about archeology, he performed DNA fingerprinting on a 9000-year-old skeleton excavated from a cave, as well as on local residents. Unexpectedly, he found that the DNA from the skeleton matched that of a 42-year-old local history teacher, making them distant relatives.
英國牛津大學分子醫學研究所的科學家在協助製作考古電視節目時，為洞穴挖掘出來一具 9000 年前的骨骸與當地居民進行 DNA 比對，意外發現骨骸與當地一位 42 歲歷史老師的 DNA 符合，是他「古老」的親戚。
