Two papers to which I contributed came out back to back in Antiquity recently, which discuss African ancestry in early medieval individuals from England. Even though the data has been available since 2023, we now dedicated more space to these two special samples, and highlight this unusual […]

Mailand: Die Toten im Untergrund
In Gewölben unter einem alten Krankenhaus in Mailand liegen die Gebeine Tausender Menschen. Sie erzählen von Hunger, Leid - und Drogen.

Clothing—not agriculture—helped spread a tick disease 5000 years ago
New study of a pathogen’s Bronze Age spread challenges longstanding links between disease and early agriculture
Scientists used to think diseases that jump from animals to people really took off when people started domesticating cattle, sheep and goats 11,000 years ago. A new look at ancient bacterial DNA in @science.org by @poojaswali.bsky.social and colleagues suggests the pivotal moment came much later.

What I get from this is that we should all be more data-mining of published data. There are still hidden gems in there, and as the data is growing faster than people can analyze, the rate of unpublished gems may be growing! 5/6

Turns out the British Iron Age really stands out with its low MT-diversity, being almost uncannily consistent with Roman and other historic writers about Celtic tribes in Britain and their powerful women. Amazing! 4/6

Motivated by this, the authors simply check mitochondrial diversity across centuries and in all of Europe from published data, and found a pattern that was there all along but nobody looked for it: 3/6
