   I am confused! The article seems to explain why ” height variation among mummies as a non-invasive means of confirming the reports of incest contained in many historical documents” is NOT true. As the article explains here were many differences in the diet and other factors between the wealthy and the poor.
   Also, WHY is “DNA analysis of a mummy’s tissue is considered unethical”? What is unethical about it?

      Many cultures are concerned about disturbing their dead. They dislike their ancestors being subject to invasive experiments, this is a non-invasive way to get information.
