🏺Stellar work by @andyjmwalton.bsky.social and colleagues. Previous craniometric analysis of the Beachy Head Woman, a Roman burial from near Eastbourne Sussex, had suggested she had ancestry from Africa. Ancient DNA analysis finds no evidence for this... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Out today, we present high quality ancient DNA data for Beachy Head Woman for the first time. Hers is a story about changing interpretations, science communication, and cutting-edge genetic technology...🧵 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

An unexpected positive of our truck breaking down in the outback was being able to make Science Week in Alice Springs. Such a cool set of events showcasing some of the amazing science going on in the NT. Special thanks to @reddirtpalaeo.bsky.social for putting up with my molecular palaeo questions!

Really excited to share the first paper from my PhD - it’s all about assumptions in modelling and the history of early population genetics… 🧵 doi.org/10.1111/ahg....

🚨 New paper klaxon! 🚨 The History of the Panmictic Population Concept and Its Legacy in Contemporary Population Genetics Quite niche admittedly, one for the historians of evolutionary thought, and population geneticists. doi.org/10.1111/ahg....

#sciencebluesky New here 👋 Really excited to be speaking at the launch of Katrina Stamatopoulos's amazing DOMESTIC this evening! Please do come along if you're interested in art, #genetics and #Evolution. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/domestic-t...
