Paglicci 23 is the name for
human remains found in Paglicci Cave
in Apulia
, Italy
that have
been dated to 28,000 years Before
Present.
In 2008, a scientific team led by David Caramelly tested Paglicci
23 and found that the individual had the
human mitochondrial haplogroup H;
specifically, the remains had been found to be identical to the
Cambridge Reference
Sequence in
HVR1. The result was
exhaustively tested for possible contamination and replicated in a
separate test.
