两名古代人类都携带致癌病毒 HPV16
Ötzi aka 冰人(Iceman)是一具因冰封而保存完好的天然木乃伊,距今有约 5000 年历史,其发现地点是阿尔卑斯山脉厄茨塔尔山冰川。Ötzi 以其保存完好的衣物、武器和纹身而知名,他的死因可能是肩膀上的箭头。他还被发现饱受骨折、肠道寄生虫和熏黑肺部的折磨。根据发表在 bioRxiv 上的一篇论文,科学家又发现了他的一项新疾病:致癌的人类乳头瘤病毒 HPV16。科学家报告 Ötzi 以及在西伯利亚西部发现的距今 4.5 万年的智人化石都携带了 HPV16 的 DNA 片段。HPV16 致癌病毒同时存在于相距 5000 公里相隔 4 万年的人类身上,显示它已经在人类中间传播了很长时间,可能是现代人类将其传播给了尼安德特人,而不是尼安德特人传播给人类。研究人员发现尼安德特人携带的是低风险的人类乳头瘤病毒 HPV12,而非高致癌性的 HPV16。最新发现挑战了 HPV 病毒是人类与尼安德特人杂交而感染的观点。 via Solidot
