Ancient DNA preservation in the Caribbean
Abstract. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis has transformed how we study human migration, species dispersals and environmental change, but poor preservation rema

Our new study with @benmpeter.bsky.social is now on biorxiv! Here we present a new computational tool which makes it possible to conduct population genetic analyses from very contaminated and very low quality archaic human genomes. (1/7)

Check out our new review: Ancient DNA in motion! We examine how the integration of archaeogenomic data with archaeological evidence can help reconstruct past human mobility and interactions, as well as their consequences, while also addressing key terminological and interpretive limitations.

New paper (from my colleagues @cpgsthlm.bsky.social!) showing children in Viking-Age & Medieval Sweden were buried in gendered ways, but those buried together were rarely close biological relatives. A great example of how #AncientDNA sheds new light on childhood, kinship & social organization 🧬

Equal in death: Ancient genomic analysis of children’s early Christian burials
Ancient genomes challenge views of close kinship in multiple Christian burials, revealing flexible traditions around children.

Sad news from most regions in Spain: wolves may soon be easier to hunt again, despite science showing their conservation status is still unfavourable 🐺💔 www.publico.es/sociedad/m-a...

La mayoría de las comunidades avalan el informe que permite la caza del lobo con el rechazo del Gobierno y Catalunya
El documento concluye que la población de este animal en España se encuentra en un estado de conservación favorable.

When archaeologists found the bodies of 77 women and children in an Iron Age grave, they pinned it on a prehistoric plague outbreak. A new analysis reveals it was actually a mass execution. Most bizarre? @mireniraorb.bsky.social's look at their genes shows the victims weren't related. @science.org
