#Archaeogenetics
Any recommendations on accounts to follow that discuss topics relating to anthropology, history, archaeogenetics, historical art or religion?

Has the Washington Post been dabbling in archaeogenetics?

My latest for @hyperallergic.com is a new study which found DNA preserved in Paleolithic wall pigments in caves in Spain & Portugal 🎨 Art is an archive! Thanks so much to Dr. @monicamedhist.bsky.social for speaking to me about the present and future of paleogenetics. Thanks for reading!
Human DNA in Cave Paintings Can Survive For Millennia, Study Finds
The discovery points to the future potential of archaeogenetics in recovering the identities of ancient artists from thousands of years ago.

Archaeogenetics has clarified a lot of these links. Still some open questions, but in many cases we can be certain there was either an almost complete population turnover or a Y-chromosome turnover (where only local men were somehow removed from reproductive success)

[1/8] L’article de Martin B. Richards (University of Huddersfield) montre que les premiers humains sont arrivés en Sahul il y a 60.000 ans. L’équipe croise ADN ancien, chronologies archéologiques et modélisations migratoires pour dater ces dispersions. #history #migration #archaeogenetics #Sahul
When did people first arrive in Australasia? New archaeogenetics study dates it to 60,000 years ago
New research confirms humans first reached the Sahul super-continent by two different routes around 60,000 years ago.

We investigated one of Europe’s largest prehistoric single-event mass graves, combining osteology, isotopes, archaeogenetics, chronology, and archaeological context to understand who these people were and what happened to them. Illustrations by Sara Nylund.

Had a great time speaking w/ Anthony Kaldellis about studying the people of ancient Rome using archaeogenetics and allied disciplines. At Isola Sacra, the necropolis for Rome’s primary port, genetic ancestry and mobility isotopes tell *very* different, but complementary, stories

Ancient DNA from two 7th-century burials in England reveals West African paternal ancestry. These individuals lived fully within their communities, showing early medieval Britain was more connected than we thought. #Archaeogenetics #MedievalHistory #HumanMigration @antiquity.ac.uk

Using 130 ancient genomes, we uncover shifting community structures -> moving from family-based to more communal households, with practices favoring female lineages.

Huge congratulations to the awesome Dr. Yilei Huang on his stellar PhD defense! 🌟👏🎉

Supervising one's first PhD student is truly special, and I got so incredibly lucky to have worked with Yilei (and the entire Archaeogenetics department @MPI-EVA Leipzig).
