  6. Wheat, barley and cattle reached Gansu around 4,000 years ago. Ancient DNA from 149 people at 11 sites finds no western Eurasian ancestry at all. Though the crops moved; farmers didn’t. #ancientDNA #archaeology #archaeogenetics anthropology.net/p/western-cro

  11. Ancient DNA from Fiji, Vanuatu & Tonga reveals two distinct migration waves shaped Pacific settlement, plus a 1,500-year-old Fijian cemetery where status passed through a woman’s line. #Archaeogenetics #PacificArchaeology #AncientDNA anthropology.net/p/ancient-dna

  12. Two mummified bodies from colonial-era Chile just yielded the first ancient smallpox genomes from the Americas, a now-extinct viral lineage whose evolution stalled for two centuries, then rebounded right as vaccination began. #ArchaeoGenetics #AncientDNA #SmallpoxHistory anthropology.net/p/two-bodies-

  13. A cave 4,000m up in Ladakh just revealed a lost population: people with ancestry split almost perfectly between South Asians and Tibetans, mixing began ~2800 years ago, and one still carries a Denisovan altitude gene. #AncientDNA #Paleoanthropology #Archaeogenetics anthropology.net/p/ancient-gen

  14. New ancient DNA study of 142 medieval Swedish burials finds kids buried with adults were rarely close kin, but were sorted by sex just like adults. #archaeogenetics #medievalarchaeology #ancientDNA anthropology.net/p/equal-in-de

  15. 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 anthropology.net/p/wealth-not-

  16. 5,500 years ago, plague was already killing children in Siberian hunter-gatherer families, no fleas, no cities, no farming required. Ancient DNA reveals a toxin that may explain why kids died and adults didn’t. #archaeogenetics #ancientDNA #paleopathology anthropology.net/p/lethal-plag

  17. New ancient DNA from 203 Neolithic individuals shows the megalithic tomb communities of Central Europe weren’t defined by blood. A father and son were buried 225 km apart. Patchwork families are ancient. #Archaeogenetics #Neolithic #AncientDNA anthropology.net/p/the-tombs-w

  18. A tooth from a 14th-century Bolivian mummy just yielded the oldest known Streptococcus pyogenes genome — proving scarlet fever’s bacterium circulated in the Americas long before European contact. #AncientDNA #Paleopathology #Archaeogenetics anthropology.net/p/a-tooth-fro

  19. Ancient DNA from 5 Neolithic cairns in Caithness and Orkney maps fathers, sons, brothers — and two women on an island more closely related to men on the mainland than to those buried beside them. #Archaeogenetics #NeolithicBritain #AncientDNA anthropology.net/p/the-dead-kn

  20. Ancient DNA from a Neolithic tomb near Paris reveals two genetically distinct populations separated by a catastrophic collapse around 5,000 years ago. Plague, abandonment, and migration — all in a single burial site. #Archaeogenetics #Neolithic #AncientDNA anthropology.net/p/the-tomb-th

  21. 🔍🔬 Wow, Ancient DNA study reveals #Vikings weren't born but made. Who knew, right? Apparently, we were desperately waiting for #science to confirm that pillaging isn't a genetic trait but a career choice. 🤯💼
