🎉✨ Happy New Year from Palaeo CDF! As we step into 2025, we’re filled with excitement for the projects ahead in paleoanthropology and palaeoproteomics.🧬 We wish the scientific community a year full of success and progress in our shared pursuit of knowledge.

I am very happy to share our new paper on the genetics of some of the first modern humans who ever lived in Europe! We sequenced nuclear DNA from 13 specimens from Ranis in Germany, and found that they belonged to at least 6 individuals. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/n)

On Tuesday, the team went on our annual Christmas outing which began with an artsy 🎨 excursion at Musée d'Orsay followed by a lovely dinner 🥘 at the Greek restaurant Spiti Sou. We wish everyone a peaceful end of the year and look forward to all the exciting projects starting in the New Year 🤩

🧬 Analysis reveals ancient cords made from multiple animal species! #ZooMS analysis shows mystery markers in ancient sinew? #archaeology #ancienttech #biomolecules One cord = goat, another = wild mix of pig, deer & possibly sheep/goat?? Interesting to see what #palaeoproteomics can reveal.

Having a great time at #AAA47 discussing our protocol to predict collagen preservation in bones from tropical sites in Australia and the Indo-Pacific. Want to apply this workflow to your research question? I am all ears 👂
