#MetagenomicsMonday Analysis of aDNA from 1313 ancient human remains spanning 37k years revealed that the rise of infectious diseases coincided with animal domestication around 65k years ago, with disease spread intensifying during pastoralist migrations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The spatiotemporal distribution of human pathogens in ancient Eurasia - Nature
Screening shotgun-sequencing data from ancient humans covering 37,000 years of Eurasian history uncovers the widespread presence of ancient bacterial, viral and parasite DNA and zoonotic pathogens…

New paper alert! We have just published an open acces paper in Climate of the Past, that has dated lacustrine permafrost sediments from northeast Siberia to the last interglacial using luminescence dating. doi.org/10.5194/cp-2...
Newly dated permafrost deposits and their paleoecological inventory reveal an Eemian much warmer than today in Arctic Siberia
Abstract. In this study, we integrate geochronological, cryolithological, paleoecological, and modeling data to reconstruct the Last Interglacial (LIG) climate around the New Siberian Islands, reveali...
