A new study in Nature uses ancient DNA from 116 genomes and hundreds of previously published ones to better understand the Gravettian prehistoric culture. In summary the authors teased out there were many small distinct populations that could explain the subtle differences in the archaeological record. #anthropology #archaeology #ancientDNA #aDNA #europe https://www.anthropology.net/p/european-prehistory-is-rewritten

Some #FoodForThought from the #researchpaper linked aboveš”š”š”
āImportantly, in my view, the term āgenetically similar toā also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; āsimilar toā does not imply āsame asā. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of #geneticvariation across #humangroups in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 #Genomes samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has āSouthern Asian #geneticancestry ā comes much closer to making that linkage in peopleās minds.
Working out the #genealogicalhistory of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of #humangenetics , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day #geneticdiversity that aid clear communication.ā

Ancient DNA Boom Underlines a Need for Ethical Frameworks | The Scientist MagazineĀ®
The field of ancient DNA, which combines archaeology and anthropology with cutting-edge genetics, is requiring scientists to have frank conversations about when research is justified and who it benefits.

We extend a #diffusion method for inferring the spread of a strongly selected allele, originally developed by Novembre et al. (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0030339). We now incorporate #ancientDNA and allow for #advection dynamics.

Using #ancientDNA to infer #socialstructure Interesting but #handlewithcare #anthropology #archeology
we present genetic data for 13āNeanderthals from two Middle Palaeolithic sites. Up to 1/3rd of these individualsā genomes had long segments of homozygosity, suggesting that they were part of a small community. Also, the Y-chromosome diversity is an order of magnitude lower than the mitochondrial diversity, a pattern best explained by female migration betwn communities.

Great roundup by John Hawks (who I canāt find On Here) on the top 10 #AncientDNA stories of 2022. Whatās fascinating to me is how many of these involve non-human DNA, especially of food. https://johnhawks.net/weblog/the-top-10-discoveries-about-ancient-people-from-dna-in-2022/
