  1. Britain's oldest known northerner was a girl of about 3, buried in a Cumbrian cave around 9,000 BC with perforated shell beads. New DNA analysis finally tells us who she was. #Mesolithic #CaveArchaeology #AncientDNA #Archaeology anthropology.net/p/a-child-bur

  6. New @Nature study recovers proteins from 400,000-year-old Homo erectus teeth in China -- and finds a variant shared with Denisovans, who later passed it to people in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Some of us carry a trace of H. erectus. #Paleoanthropology #AncientDNA #HumanEvolution anthropology.net/p/what-homo-e

  11. “The researchers analyzed the genomes of 258 people who were buried in what are called row graves in the modern-day German states of Bavaria and Hesse, 112 of whom were interred at the Bavarian village of Altheim. Most dated to between 450 and 620 AD” #ISOGG #DNA #ancientdna #Rome

  15. Ancient DNA from 52 individuals across 6,000 years in Argentina and Uruguay reveals a Southern Cone in constant motion: three competing ancestries in the Pampas, a mystery lineage no one can source, and genetic ties from Uruguay to coastal Brazil. #Archaeogenomics #AncientDNA #SouthAmerica anthropology.net/p/strangers-i

  20. Chicken vs. pheasant — the bones look nearly identical. ZooMS molecular analysis just confirmed domestic chickens were raised on the Korean Peninsula 2,000 years ago, filling a key gap in East Asian dispersal history. #Zooarchaeology #AncientDNA #KoreanArchaeology anthropology.net/p/the-bones-t

  25. Ancient DNA And Spatial Modeling Reveal Pre-Inca Trans-Andean Parrot Trade

    “Parrots captured in the Amazon rainforest by pre-Inca people were transported hundreds of miles over the Andes to arid coastal areas where they were kept for their colorful feathers.”

    The bacterium responsible for #scarletFever was not introduced to the Americas by Europeans.
    A research team led by Eurac Research has identified the #Streptococcus pyogenes bacterium in a pre-Columbian Bolivian mummy and, for the first time, reconstructed the genome of this centuries-old pathogen.
