Superquark S27E05 · Europe and the DNA of the Romans

Overview

A tour of Europe with the BBC nature documentary, from the series Seven Continents, One Planet. As we know, ours is a very crowded land, and over the years its habitat has been completely transformed by the massive presence of humans. This has made the survival of some species no longer a given. In addition to rare wolves and Iberian lynxes, the documentary features many wonderful images of a world that demands our full attention and must be protected to ensure the future of its wildlife, which unfortunately is at risk of extinction in these parts. Roman DNA: where did the ancient Romans come from? Paolo Magliocco and Gianpiero Orsingher explain, having visited the initial findings of a genetic study led by Sapienza University of Rome. The last ten years have been extraordinary for the exploration of our solar system.
