Scientists used to think diseases that jump from animals to people really took off when people started domesticating cattle, sheep and goats 11,000 years ago. A new look at ancient bacterial DNA in @science.org by @poojaswali.bsky.social and colleagues suggests the pivotal moment came much later.

Discover our results of the largest ancient DNA study ever conducted on a single burial site: 400 skeletons from the Belgian city Sint-Truiden (8th–18th century). A unique glimpse into 1000 years of genetic history. (1/9) @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social

The Phoenicians used mastery of the seas to spread their culture across the pre-Roman Mediterranean - but a new study of ancient DNA by @hringbauer.bsky.social & colleagues shows mass migration wasn't part of the package: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

Check out our ancient DNA paper on the maritime Punic civilization! 🦴🧬🌊 We find that their Levantine Phoenician cultural ancestors contributed surprisingly little ancestry to Punic sites in the central and western Mediterranean! (1/4) doi.org/10.1038/s415... #aDNA #PopGen #Punic #Phoenician

For 5,000 years, the Sahara was dotted with lakes and crisscrossed by rivers, populated by giraffes, hippos, elephants, fish – and people. A new study from @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social geneticist @nadasalem.bsky.social and colleagues reveals where they came from. @science.org

Our study analyzing the DNA of ~7ky-old Pastoralists from the "Green Sahara" is out! Who were these people, and how did herding spread into the region when the present-day desert was dotted with water bodies? 🧬🦴🏜️ (1/7) #PopGen #GreenSahara #aDNA www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Oh wow!👀 Calling IBD on SNP array data of 370,000 Danes - an impressive 6.2 (!!) percent of Denmark's present-day population 🇩🇰 Revealing fascinating population genetic fine-structure from recent centuries, all through the powerful lens of long shared haplotypes. 🧬

Europe as “a haven” for US researcher - The EU’s research funding bodies are thinking of ways to welcome US scientists and European ex-patriots who might be looking for a more sympathetic place to work now that Donald Trump is in the White House #AcademicSky 🧪 sciencebusiness.net/internationa...

I had a great visit to the MPI for evolutionary anthropology yesterday to give a talk on 'Evolution Evolving'. Thanks to my wonderful host Laurel Fogarty and everyone who met with me and attended my talk. Such interesting work going on there!

An important new paper by @beademarch.bsky.social and her team challenges how we use ancient proteins to study the past. Analysis of 1,832 sequences from waterfowl (ducks & geese) reveals why palaeoproteomics isn't the simple solution we hoped for... 👇🧵 1/4 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...

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).

Big aDNA study led by the fantastic @iosiflazaridis.bsky.social that helps to resolve the spread of Indo-European languages. 🗣🧬🌍 Includes genomes of 211 Yamnaya (~3000 BCE) from the Steppes between Hungary and central Asia - revealing a dramatic demographic expansion and extreme mobility. #PopGen

Our papers, out today in @nature.com, show how ancient DNA from the Eneolithic and Bronze Age steppe points to a North Pontic origin of the Indo-European language family and a Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) origin of Indo-Anatolian (inclusive of the now extinct Anatolian languages). 1/

If you need another break from current news, come with me 7000 years ago to search for the first speakers of Indo-European languages. 🧪 Gift link: nyti.ms/42ILio5

Indo-European languages are spoken by half the people in the world today. The search for their origins has obsessed scholars for centuries. New @nature.com papers by @iosiflazaridis.bsky.social and others use ancient DNA to pinpoint where Indo-European got its start, and how it may have spread.
