A team of geneticists recently analyzed 6,529 individual genomes, representing 107 different human populations.¹ They found genetic traces of African ancestry in various people groups and estimated the timing of the ancient African/non-African intermarriages.

A research team recently discovered an ancient winepress very near Mount Ararat, the historically held resting place for Noah's Ark. Could this site be related to the winery Noah founded in Genesis 9?
