Our papers, out today in @nature.com, show how ancient DNA from the Eneolithic and Bronze Age steppe points to a North Pontic origin of the Indo-European language family and a Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) origin of Indo-Anatolian (inclusive of the now extinct Anatolian languages). 1/

Sharing is Caring: Central Europe’s First Farmers Lived in Equality 👨‍🌾 The results of a new study in Nature Human Behaviour, reveal that the culture responsible for the expansion of agriculture in Central Europe 8,000 years ago showed no signs of population stratification. ⤵ 🏺 #Anthropology

Colin Renfrew's accomplishments in so many fields are many. I only met him once and what I most admired about him was how receptive to new evidence and ready to re-evaluate his own ideas he was. A true giant of world archaeology has passed away. www.ekathimerini.com/news/1254364...

Shared our research on the #aDNA of the #Pompeii casts with the @abc.com.au.web.brid.gy earlier this week. Thank you for having me! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Our new pre-print is online with this exceptionally amazing illustration! It's an opinion paper and literature review on sedaDNA especially focusing on archaeological questions! Congratulations to @toykanozdogan, @GertjanPlets and all others ♥️ www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3...

Preprint alert 🧬! We explore population history in the N Eurasian forest/forest-steppe zones spanning the Mesolithic/Neolithic/Bronze Age. Esp interesting is the correlation early Uralic speakers w/expansion of Seima-Turbino metallurgical traditions. (PS: work led by bluesky-less colleagues!)

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new textbook in human genetics: web.stanford.edu/group/pritch... "An Owner's Guide to the Human Genome: an introduction to human population genetics, variation and disease"

Looks good
