Type: peer-review

Abstract: The first sequenced mitogenome of a mummified non-human primate connects an Egyptian baboon dated to ca. 800–540 BCE to modern baboon populations in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and eastern Sudan, providing evidence for Egyptian–Adulite trade centuries earlier than current archaeological evidence.
