The Early Bantu Expansion into Central Africa | 9 | New Data and Insig Central Africa hosts populations characterised by diverse linguistic, cultural, and genetic backgrounds. In this study, we have generated new genome-wide

Thrilled to announce that Routledge has published our book chapter in #OpenAccess. This chapter is part of an outstanding 740-page book that examines the early events of the Bantu expansion in Africa using multidisciplinary perspectives, including genetics. www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-...

I'm thrilled to announce that our featured article, "Herders from the Green Sahara", was published in the 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 magazine. Another great collaboration with Viktor Černý and Carina Schlebusch.

Wide-scale geographical analysis of genetic ancestry in the South African Coloured population - BMC Biology Background The South African Coloured (SAC) population, a prominent admixed population in South Africa, reflects centuries of migration, admixture, and historical segregation. Descendants of local Kho...

A big congrats to Imke Lankheet + co-authors for this new publication on genetic ancestry in the South African Coloured population. We reveal fine-scale regional differences in SAC, shaped by complex history and social factors @schlebuschgroup.bsky.social
