What’s going on in that ancient S. American canid ‘s mouth? @mbravolo.bsky.social is looking into their oral microbiomes with @cegamorim.bsky.social & @hunemeier.bsky.social! #SMBE2026

Absolutely thrilled to see our work featured on the cover of @nature.com, with the stunning artwork of Emiliano Bellini! Deeply grateful to all collaborators, the Indigenous communities who made this work possible, and the funding agencies for their support!

📣Heading South 📕The study led by Tábita Hünemeier (@hunemeier.bsky.social), principal investigator at the @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social, “Indigenous American genomes reveal unique diversity and evolution”, is featured on this week’s @nature.com cover. #UnravellingEvolution 👉

Nature - Heading south

The last continent in the world to be settled by humans was the Americas. Beringia, a land bridge that replaced the Bering Strait during the last ice age,...

Our new paper is out in @nature.com! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Indigenous peoples across America, we show how large-scale genomic data reveal far more complex evolutionary history, shaped by multiple dispersals, long-term regional continuity, and adaptation to diverse environments.

Our new paper is out in @science.org! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.
