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.

absolutely fascinating to me that paleogenetics is now suggesting that the Antonine Plague that wiped out 5-10 million people in the second century was *probably not* smallpox, and that the disease we know as smallpox didn’t emerge until around the 1500s???
