    the entire genome of the child was determined, along with her DNA.

    The child had black hair, blue eyes and dark skin.

    The study results highlight the potential of chewed birch pitch as a source of ancient DNA.

    That's an unusual, but striking combination. And, they got all of it from a wad of birch gum. Very cool!
