But archaeology alone cannot tell us where a buried person’s ancestors came from, or how populations mixed across generations.
This is where #ancientDNA adds a complementary layer of evidence, allowing us to connect ancestry with the social context reconstructed by archaeology.

Did you know that the Shiba Inu descends from one of Asia's oldest canine lineages? Its ancestors were the Jōmon #dogs, which reached the Japanese archipelago about 9,300 years ago alongside Jōmon peoples, including the Ainu. #ancientdna #genetics #history

Genetic analysis of 30,000‑year‑old remains shows that Ice Age European groups exchanged genes across continental distances, contradicting the notion of isolated hunter‑gatherer pockets.

So why is the Epirus Mastiff still recognized today by the Greek Kennel Club?

People were riding and milking horses over 5,000 years ago.
That is centuries before the DOM2 lineage spread around 2200 BC. Which find would you trust to prove it?

Horse domestication in Eurasia began centuries earlier than thought, study argues
A Science Advances study argues that people rode, milked and managed horses in the 4th millennium BC, long before the spread of the DOM2 lineage around 2200 BC.

4 Ancient Ecuador Genomes Hint at 1,500 Years of Continuity
