We have long known that early humans and Neanderthals interbred, but where did it happen and over what kind of time period? My latest for @newscientist.com reports on a new paper that finds it may have happened over a massive area 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2513...

📢 We're hiring a postdoc (33 months) in human evolutionary genomics / paleogenomics / statistical genetics, Paris 🇫🇷 Project on selection on disease-associated variants, integrating ancient genomes, GWAS, and Ancestral Rec. Graphs. Start May 2026 (flexible). Apply here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

In a new paper led by Jiaqi Yang we trace the distribution of Denisovan introgressed DNA in ancient modern human genomes over time. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Happy to share a PhD opportunity in my new lab at the University of Zurich! Application deadline: June 30. Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions!

Check out our dive into 50,000 years of Indian genetic history!🇮🇳 🧬~2,700 genomes 🦴Neanderthal/Denisovan DNA 🌾Hunter-gatherer, Iranian farmer & Steppe ancestry 🩺Health-linked, population-specific variants @lauritsskov.bsky.social & Priya Moorjani #Genomics #India #HumanEvolution #PopulationGenetics

Excited to share our manuscript version of our publication on NIHMS: “Neandertal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ancient and present-day humans” published in @science.org‬. Here for everyone to read: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Very excited to be part of two manuscripts which are now on biorxiv! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans are extinct but their DNA lives on in many humans today because our ancestors met and had children with them.

We ( @zeniabaek.bsky.social @moicoll.bsky.social and @asgerhobolth.bsky.social ) present a new cool way to visualize the optimal trade off for hmm decoding called Artemis plots! arxiv.org/pdf/2504.15156 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out this great video from @stefanmilo.bsky.social discussing recent finding on the date of Neanderthal introgression and what one might learn from this about the human migration out of Africa (feat. @arevsumer.bsky.social and me). www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXN-...

Out today in @sciencemagazine, we've journeyed into our shared history with Neandertals by analyzing over 300 present-day and ancient modern humans, including 59 individuals who lived between 2,000 and 45,000 years ago. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
