Exploring human migrations & demographic change resulting from environ. change.
Applying new Pheno-ABC modelling method to skeletal phenotypes 🦷 Results show significant population migration patterns beginning ~47kya, changing ~28kya and again after ~14kya.

Tissue-like multicellular development triggered by mechanical compression in archaea The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone, seen often in eukaryotes, rarely in bacteria, and only once in archaea. We show that uniaxial compression induces clonal mul...

Fascinating results. All you need to evolve multicellularity is smashing single cell archaea together! From an ALife/biocomplexity angle, it speaks of how critical it is having a dynamic self-organising substrate-representation to evolve complexity

Thank you! Change can be lonely. Now there are some voices in the dark
