Celtic languages are now limited to NW Europe, but they were once far more widespread. How did they spread? I'm excited to have contributed to this new ancient DNA study led by @hmcccoll exploring exactly that. 🧬 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Keen to work on the co-evolution of domesticates, humans and their pathogens? Come join us at Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen! We're hiring a postdoc in ancient genomics for a super cool project on Neolithic Sweden: employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=… #AcademicJobs #AncientDNA
Our paper is finally out: Genetic and training adaptations in the Haenyeo divers of Jeju, Korea: Cell Reports @ras_nielsen @andrewhvaughn cell.com/cell-reports/f…
aDNA/aeDNA folks: tired of eyeballing hundreds of damage plots? I am excited to introduce AdDeam—a tool to rapidly generate damage profiles, cluster them, and spot outliers. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Exploring the power of IBD, we took a fresh look at the Celtic linguistic dispersal. Following up on Patterson et al. 2022, we found not one, but two ancestry pulses into M/LBA Britain during the M/LBA: one from France/Iberia and another from C Europe. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happy New Year! Our Twigstats paper is now out! nature.com/articles/s4158…
Kicking off the new year, our paper by @leo_speidel et al. is out describing what to me is a breakthrough in ancient genomics. By using genealogies to study ancestry we can get much more resolution to study finer-scale history. We call this method Twigstats.
Deadline extended to Sept. 27th!
So so excited to see our paper on Thorin, a late Neanderthal man from Grotte Mandrin, out in Cell Genomics today! He belonged to a genetic lineage deeply diverged from other known late Neanderthals. Check it out here cell.com/cell-genomics/…
Really proud to co-author this paper on the genetic history of the Rapa Nui people. The genomes of 15 Rapa Nui reveal admixture with ancient South Americans took place soon after first landfall w. no later drop in gen. diversity consistent with 'ecocide'. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Plague was surprisingly abundant and widespread in Scandinavia in the period leading up to the Neolithic Decline. In fact, we found plague in 17% of the sampled population. Check out our new paper out in Nature today! nature.com/articles/s4158… #plague #NeolithicDecline #ancientDNA
We’re excited to share Twigstats, boosting f-statistics power for fine-scale ancestry modelling by using genealogies, compatible with admixtools2. Application to early medieval Europe reveals major mobility from and into Northern Europe and Scandinavia! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
New preprint 📣 On behalf of a massive team of geneticists, linguists, historians and archaeologists, we’re proud to share this manuscript on the prehistory of northern and western Europe since the Bronze Age biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am truly grateful and honored to have received a grant from @novonordiskfond and as result, we have openings at @DTU_HealthTech for 2 PhDs in computational aDNA and sedaDNA dtu.dk/english/About/… and 1 postdoc in computational pop gen. dtu.dk/english/About/… please RT :-)
😀 @Nature just published: palaeoproteomics on #Homoantecessor #Atapuerca and #Homoerectus #Dmanisi. Homo antecessor is a close sister lineage to humans, Neandertals & Denisovans. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@Katerina__Douka of @MPI_SHH in #S10 at #IPPA2018 on the #FINDER_ERC project and the potential of bone collagen fingerprinting in discovering new human fossils from late #Pleistocene and early #Holocene Asia
Two competing theories about the human occupation of Southeast Asia have been debunked by ground-breaking analysis of ancient DNA extracted from 8,000 year-old skeletons. The study was led by Prof Eske Willerslev, John's Fellow, story: goo.gl/165Xuc #thisisjohns
Our paper ‘The prehistoric peopling of Southeast Asia’ is out – 26 genomes, 8 ka onwards. A lot of fun working with super talented people @FerRacimo, Lasse Vinner, @Indi750 and co. science.sciencemag.org/content/361/63…
