  2. If you are interested in learning computational population genetics and ancient genomics, I have curated my list of workshops and online tutorials (and will continue to do so) with tags indicating suitability for self-learners and status. You find the list [here](stephanschiffels.de/resources.). Let me know if you have suggestions. #aDNA #populationgenetics

  3. Another, much more recent, aDNA genetics discovery again turning assumptions about the past on their head. Ancient DNA recovery of the Upton Lovell "Shaman" (bronze age metalworker), who had always been presumed to be a male, shows that instead they were biologically female.

  4. The #BronzeAge #UptonLovellShaman​'s burial in Wiltshire has long been considered an important religious figure & metalworker. It's been barely questioned someone of such status must be male.

    But now #aDNA analysis revealed that the body is in fact: a woman.

  5. Study: Cave Lions were Distinct Species that Occasionally Bred with Ancestors of Today’s Lions

  6. Wenn Menschen als Familie zusammmenleben, die nicht biologisch verwandt sind, wird das heute oft als Patchworkfamilie bezeichnet. Genetische Analysen an Knochen, die aus 5000 Jahre alten Großsteingräbern im heutigen Niedersachsen, Hessen und Nordrhein-Westfalen stammen, zeigen: Auch damals war das Zusammenleben offenbar komplexer als bisher vermutet.

    Die Analysen zeigen auch: Die Menschen der Jungsteinzeit waren deutlich mobiler als angenommen. So wurden in einem Beispiel ein Vater und ein Sohn fast 250 Kilometer voneinander entfernt bestattet.

    Die Studie ist gestern im renommierten Wissenschafts-Journal #Science erschienen. Mehr Infos dazu findet Ihr hier: uni-kiel.de/de/cluster-roots/d
