What’s going on in that ancient S. American canid ‘s mouth? @mbravolo.bsky.social is looking into their oral microbiomes with @cegamorim.bsky.social & @hunemeier.bsky.social! #SMBE2026

Our new paper is out in @nature.com! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Indigenous peoples across America, we show how large-scale genomic data reveal far more complex evolutionary history, shaped by multiple dispersals, long-term regional continuity, and adaptation to diverse environments.

Our new paper is out in @science.org! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.
