English term or phrase: ancient DNA
He encontrado 3 maneras de traducirlo:

1) ADN antiguo (la más utilizada)
2) ADN prehistórico (usada en América Latina)
3) ADN fósil

ADN antiguo
Explanation:
"ADN antiguo" es la forma más utilizada por el simple motivo de que "ancient DNA" no es necesariamente ni prehistórico ni fósil. Por ejemplo, el ADN extraído de una momia maya no sería ninguna de estas dos cosas.
