It's not "#woke" to portray prehistoric Europeans with dark skin. It's #evolution.

Ancient #DNA analyses suggest that prehistoric Europeans looked different from modern Europeans today, but some people find that hard to accept:

Glad to share our paper out today @NatureEcoEvo: “Serial innovations by Asgard archaea shaped the DNA replication machinery of the early eukaryotic ancestor”. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #microsky #archaeasky
Serial innovations by Asgard archaea shaped the DNA replication machinery of the early eukaryotic ancestor - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Phylogenetic and biochemical analyses show a diversity of components of the DNA replication machinery in different Asgard archaea that contributed to the eukaryotic DNA replication machinery.

"Human history is rife with contentions about the purity (and superiority) of the bloodlines of one group over another and claims over ancestral homelands.
More than a decade of work on ancient human DNA has upended it all."

A saliva test that analyses DNA to identify men born with the greatest risk of developing prostate cancer may help "turn the tide" on the disease.

Targeting those men for biopsies & MRI scans discovered aggressive cancers that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. 🧪🧬

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

Ancient DNA connects large-scale migration with the spread of Slavs - Nature
Analyses of ancient human DNA show that cultural and political transformations in Central Europe during the second half of the first millennium ce were associated with movements of Slavic populations into Germany, Poland and Croatia.

Analyses of common DNA variants & handedness => complex underpinnings with roles of e.g. networks of structural proteins in the cell. New analyses of 38k left- & 313k right-handers by @clydefrancks.bsky.social implicate rare protein-coding changes too, but these explain ~0.9% of trait variance. 10/n
Exome-wide analysis implicates rare protein-altering variants in human handedness - Nature Communications
Left-handedness is a common and partly heritable trait. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide screen for rare, protein-altering genetic variants associated with handedness in over 350,000 people, an...

So human beings are all more closely related to each other than at any time in history. This *should* put an end (again) to the bullshit "racial purity" narratives, but it probably won't. Some people just want to be bigots.
