They evolved curiously split bows, sterns that were wide at the top but V-shaped at the bottom, and bone joints that made the vessels 100 times as flexible as modern boats.

In the journal Nature last week, for example, a team of British researchers recounted how they successfully identified a teenage murder victim from skeletal remains eight years old. First they extracted DNA from bone cells in the dead girl's femur. Then they obtained DNA from blood samples donated by the couple believed...
