Big news about a 900,000 year old #Genetic #Bottleneck, where there were only 1,300 breeding individuals!

Read what I (and Duet AI) think about this topic, and why bottlenecks are important and listen to the latest episode of the #PaleoPostPodcast to hear about the specific aforementioned story!

#Police Are Getting #DNA Data From People Who Think They Opted Out
#Forensic #genetic #genealogists like Cece Moore skirt #GEDmatch #privacy rules by hunting for relatives just as traditional genealogists do but with a twist: They work with #lawenforcement agencies and use commercial databases to search for people who can help identify remains or perpetrators who left DNA at #crimescene. Moore among fields biggest evangelists, boasts of having helped close over 200 cases.

Want to have your #genes tested? It might be #genetic

People who enroll in genetic studies are genetically predisposed to do so.
