Scientists have long argued over where the Shroud of Turin came from, but a new genetic study shifts the question entirely. By analyzing DNA extracted from samples collected in 1978, researchers found traces of at least 14 people, more than 19 plant species from four continents, and a complex community of microbes. The findings paint the Shroud not as a simple artifact of disputed origin, but as a biological record of everywhere it has traveled and everyone who has touched it across centuries.
