Ancient skeletons’ genes reveal origin of the Slavic people DNA connects modern Slavs to a wave of migration following the fall of the Roman Empire

A study led by @zhofmanova.bsky.social @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social used ancient DNA to investigate the spread of Slavic language and culture 1,500 years ago. “This wasn’t a migration of elites, or a few male warriors,” 1 co-author says. “This was the migration of an entire population.” @science.org

From one great ISBA team to the next — thank you to our past organizers for building such a strong and connected community!

What a week! 🎉 Big thanks to @isba11.bsky.social for hosting an incredible ISBA conference — so well organized and full of great science.
