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

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 https://www.anthropology.net/p/lethal-plague-outbreaks-among-lake

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 https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-tombs-were-not-for-families

Ancient DNA from a Neolithic tomb near Paris reveals two genetically distinct populations separated by a catastrophic collapse around 5,000 years ago.

Ancient DNA from Golden Horde elite tombs in Kazakhstan confirms C3* ties to Mongol rulers, but challenges the claim that 1 in 200 men descends from Genghis Khan. The real lineage may be rarer than the legend. #AncientDNA #MongolEmpire #HumanEvolution https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-golden-hordes-dna-and-the-myth

Ancient DNA from a 5,500-year-old hunter-gatherer cemetery on Gotland shows people buried together were kin, but often second- or third-degree relatives, not parents and children. The Stone Age family was wider than we assumed. #AncientDNA #Archaeogenetics #HunterGatherers https://www.anthropology.net/p/who-gets-buried-together-on-a-stone
