For my first-ever bsky post, I’m thrilled to share our latest #ancientDNA research, which I co-led with @jessthorpemas.bsky.social

OA: doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf065

We recovered and analysed mitochondrial genomes from many #mammoths spanning the last million years 🦣🧬⌛

Check this 🧵 we wrote ⬇️

New paper 🧵

A team co-led by #cpgsthlm 's researcher @jcchacond.bsky.social has analysed DNA from a large number of mammoths across a million-year timescale 🦣🧬

The findings include the discovery and analysis of the oldest known woolly #mammoth in North America!

Just finished watching the fascinating documentary “Secrets of the Neanderthals” on Netflix. Not a lot of DNA discussion but there is one part where they can identify whether the remains are male or female based on a dental protein. Here’s a link to the trailer: youtu.be/b5YtgLSU_sE?...

Paige Madison (@fossilhistory.bsky.social) shared the news that we now have a Denisovan skull!! The Harbin or Dragon Man skull has been shown to have Denisovan proteins.

The absolutely massive dragon man is a Denisovan? This feels incredibly satisfying, somehow. arstechnica.com/science/2025... 🧪🏺

Fossilized hominin skull known as the "Harbin skull" or "Dragon Man," resting on a gray fabric background. The skull has a large, rounded cranium, prominent brow ridges, wide eye sockets, and a broad, flat nose opening, with some missing teeth and damage to the nasal area.
