Abstract

Analiza mitohondrijske DNA je veoma važan alat pri određivanju filogenetskih odnosa te je pokrenula razvoj na brojnim znanstvenim poljima, među kojima se osobito ističe forenzika. Dobiveni uzorci tijekom filogenetičke analize sekvenca ljudske mitohondrijske DNA otkrili su bogatstvo informacija u različitim poljima, kao što je na primjer evolucija čovjeka u kojoj forenzika ima značajnu ulogu. U ovom radu opisani su slučajevi prirodno sačuvanih mumija čije su analize doprinijele razvoju forenzike i razumijevanju filogenije, te na koji način se potvrdila točnost teorije napuštanja Afrike. Također, spominju se nedavni događaji u kojima su forenzičari od velike važnosti za donošenje pravde i istine pri rješavanju zločina protiv čovječnosti.

Abstract (english)

Mitochondrial DNA analysis is a very important tool for assessment of phylogenetic relationships, and it has initiated development on many scientific fields, in which forensics is highlighted. Patterns found through phylogenetic analysis of human mitochondrial DNA sequences have revealed a wealth of information in such disparate fields as human evolution, in which forensics plays a very important role. This paper describes cases of natural preserved mummies which analysis have gained to development of forensics and understandings of phylogeny. It also describes how Out of Africa theory has showed true. After all, it describes recent events in which forensics has the most important role for making justice and resolving crimes against humanity.
