Yes, we regularly (for some definition of "regularly") uncover human burial sites (both as part of planned archaeological excavations and accidentally during construction) all around the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

The output of this process is not typically considered GMO, at least for regulatory purposes.

There was a No Kings protest just a few days ago, millions of people across nearly every state demonstrated against the administration.
