Most everybody knows that DNA contains the blueprint for life. The names of Watson and Crick, the first scientists to figure out the structure of DNA in the 1950s, are also widely recognized. But left obscure in history is the name of the chemist who first isolated the DNA molecule itself.

Perhaps the biggest anthropology news of this week has been the analysis of ancient DNA from fossilized human poop found in 14,000 year old cave in Oregon. The paper, “DNA from Pre-Clovis Human Coprolites in Oregon, North America,” was published in this recent issue of Science. ... Yes, the Clovis-First hypothesis is dead.

American biochemist Arthur Kornberg, who isolated the first DNA polymerizing enzyme, has died. Only a year later, Kornberg won the Nobel Prize for his work. He also failed to receive grants early in his career because of his Jewish roots, he alleged.
