head lice and DNA has been extracted from those head lice. The DNA
shows the head lice goes all the way back to at least 15,000 years ago
in the Americas. The story will appear in the Journal of Infectious
Diseases. Further tests may help show the exact location of the origin
of the lice and the year the lice entered the Americas with people.
