A human brian was found in an Areni cave in the Armenian province of Vayotz Dzor what is believed to be the world’s oldest human brain, Professor of California University, co-chair of the group conducting excavations in Areni cave, Grigori Areshyan, told reporters in Yerevan Wednesday.

He said the DNA taken from the 6000-year-old human brain is being studied in many laboratories worldwide, including the US and the Netherlands, and the results will become clear late in 2011.

“We are conducting research to find the Armenian gene. First we should get the result of the genotype, and it should still be long studied,” he said.

Grigori Areshyan highlighted: “As long as the research has not finished, we haven’t informed foreign media about the finding. The world’s oldest human brain was found in Areni cave in September, 2008.”
