Ancient DNA analysis reveals Wiltshire’s #UptonLovell #Shaman was a woman
Exclusive: Analysis offers ‘smoking gun evidence’ that overturns previous assumption that bronze age individual was maleThere are quite a few such cases where the analysis of #ancientDNA has led to a #gender reassignment, exposed the tendency of previous research to assume important people to have been male until proven otherwise.

A bit of an interesting historical curiosity: Based on ancient DNA analysis, common burial in Medieval times, including that of children, didn't necessarily have anything to do with being from the same family.

A Mongolian cemetery traced through 6 generations of ancient DNA looked like a family burial ground. Machine learning + cultural phylogenetics say otherwise: wealth and political power decided who got buried where, not blood. #Archaeogenetics #Xiongnu #AncientDNA https://www.anthropology.net/p/wealth-not-blood-decided-who-got
