Still time to register for the our next AaRCademy workshop on demographic history! Deadline is December 5th! #aDNA

What a big day for cat's history lovers

What's that? 5 ancient doggy papers in 10 days is too many dogs? Can I interest you in some cats? Perhaps a complete retelling of cat domestication, dispersal, and replacement across Eurasia? As you wish! Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Cell Genomics www.cell.com/cell-genomic...

After a four-year journey, my PhD work is out in @science.org Endless gratitude to the amazing @felix-erc.bsky.social team, all coauthors and collaborators, and my loved ones. Without you all this couldn't be real! 💛🐱✨ @erc.europa.eu @nationalgeographic.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Trying to catch up with more studied domestic animals 🐄🐕🐐🐎 and exploring cutting-edge tools, I was excited to present the first imputation tests in ancient & modern cat genomes 🐈 at the first in-person AaRC meeting in Turin. @isbarchaeology.bsky.social @aarc-community.bsky.social

Shameless promotion from #isba11 - I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using #adna to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!
