Molecular Archaeology: Carbon isotope analysis of amino acids as a means to investigate diets, physiology, metabolism and palaeoenvironment.

在分子水平上对过去社会和动物的骨骼进行研究，为我们提供了一系列有关古饮食和环境的替代数据。以这种方式调查过去提供了一个关于人类饮食和健康如何变化以及动物和环境如何变化的独特视角。当我们以这种方式了解过去时，我们可以更好地了解与饮食有关的当前健康问题以及环境和气候如何变化。

The investigation of the bones of past societies and animals at the molecular level opens up a whole array of alternative data about palaeodiet and environment. Investigating the past in this way provides a unique perspective about how diet and health have changed in humans and about how animals and the environment have changed. When we understand the past in this manner we can better understand current health issues linked to diet and how the environment and climate is changing.
