I will be presenting my poster: “The Population Genetic History of the Hittite Capital Hattusa” at #ESEB2025 📍Poster #273 If you’re around, please come by, ask questions or have a chat, and let’s talk ancient DNA & population genetics!

Our genetic kinship estimation tool using deep learning is just out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Our models trained on simulated data work effectively on real data from diverse backgrounds and often better than available tools. Congratulations @meerf.bsky.social and team!

DeepKin: Predicting Relatedness From Low‐Coverage Genomes and Palaeogenomes With Convolutional Neural Networks

DeepKin is a novel tool designed to predict relatedness from genomic data using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Traditional methods for estimating relatedness often struggle when genomic data i...

New preprint alert 🚨 The tiniest bone in the human body appears to have the best DNA preservation: "The mini yet mighty staples" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The mini yet mighty stapes: a comparison of ancient DNA yields among ossicles and the petrous bone

The petrous bone is considered the most efficient source of endogenous DNA across skeletal tissues in ancient DNA research as well as in forensic work. Recently, ancient DNA (aDNA) in auditory ossicle...

Congratulations to my wonderful, brilliant friend @dilekopter.bsky.social on their Science paper “Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean”. Truly exceptional work from one of the most amazing people out there! Check it out!

Out-of-Anatolia: Cultural and genetic interactions during the Neolithic expansion in the Aegean

West Anatolia has been a crucial yet elusive element in the Neolithic expansion from the Fertile Crescent to Europe. In this work, we describe the changing genetic and cultural landscapes of early Hol...

🧬In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, family was built on social relations rather than blood ties. Genetic analysis shows that over time, co-residents were no longer genetic relatives. Female subadults were buried with 5x more grave goods. 🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.

🧬 Çatalhöyük'te aile kan bağıyla değil hayat ortaklığıyla kurulmuş! Genetik analizler gösteriyor ki, zamanla aynı evde yaşayanlar biyolojik akraba olmaktan çıkıyor. Kız çocukları mezarlarda 5 kat daha fazla hediyeyle gömülüyor. 🔍 Neolitik sosyal yapının şaşırtıcı hikayesi.

Happy to share our new study I contributed to during my master’s: "Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük." @compevohumang.bsky.social

Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük

Combining 131 paleogenomes with bioarchaeological and archaeological data, we studied social organization and gendered practices in Çatalhöyük East Mound (7100 to 5950 BCE), a major Neolithic settleme...

🙌 Exciting new study from #Anatolia published by @compevohumang.bsky.social in @science.org today! Anthropologists have long argued that kinship and family do not need to be genetically oriented. The study from Çatalhöyük wonderfully highlights this point also for Neolithic in Anatolia. Congrats!

The nature of Neolithic society is one of the most debated topics in archaeology–a debate that's almost impossible to settle w/ conventional methods alone. Now, new DNA data from a site in Turkey called Çatalhöyük points to a significant role for women: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

"Background mobility", the low but steady movement of individuals sharing ideas and materials, can explain how Neolithic practices spread without mass migration in early Neolithic of Western Anatolia.

Integrating paleogenomics and material culture data we found a complex mosaic of cultural change dynamics. This new methodology integrating genomics and archaeology reveals the diverse ways people interacted and changed during this period.
