The discovery of the world's earliest "nuclear family", led by University of Adelaide DNA researcher Dr Wolfgang Haak, has been named in TIME magazine's Top 10 Scientific Discoveries of the Year.

Dr Haak led a multidisciplinary team that unearthed Stone Age burials in central Germany, which yielded the earliest evidence of people living together as a family.

One of the 4600-year-old graves contained the remains of a man, woman and two youngsters. DNA analysis shows they were a mother, father and their children. [Full Story]
