A 4,600 year old grave has been found with a family inside. researchers found genetic evidence that they are a family. The grave contained the remains of a man,woman and two children. DNA analysis shows that they were a family a mother, father and children. there union in death tells they were together in life. we have only a few clues about social relationships between people in the ancient times. these are the oldest genetic evidence ever found. evidence show injuries such as a violent attack. all the bodies had hand injuries and a woman a fractured skull. researchers think it could have been because they were trying to protect themselves. i think that this is amazing that they found the bodies after so long and they can just find out these facts just by there skeletons like there gender and if they were attacked and if those are there kids.
