(220715) -- KUNMING, July 15, 2022 (Xinhua) -- A drawing provided by Kunming Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows the reconstruction of a female "Mengzi Ren (MZR)" and her living environment. Scientists have unveiled a Late Pleistocene human genome from southwest China. Their findings were published online in the journal Current Biology on Thursday night. The scientists conducted the genome sequencing of the 14,000-year-old human remains of the "Mengzi Ren (MZR)," which were unearthed in 1989 in a cave in Mengzi, Yunnan Province. More than 30 human fossils, as well as fossils of animals such as the red deer, the macaque and the black bear, were discovered in the cave.
