On the Application of the Gell-Mann Classification Method in Ancient DNA (aDNA) Research

POSTER

Abstract

The Gell-Mann method [1] [2] can be used in the ancient DNA[3] research, among other topics,[4] to predict the existence of aDNA not yet discovered (facilitating the classifications similar to Gell-Mann’s and Mendeleev’s in physics and chemistry, respectively). This, in turn, can facilitate the prediction of the most probable human migration trajectories, providing, in that way, new insights into the unfolding of the Homo sapiens sapiens race
