Postdoctoral Researcher at Globe, University of Copenhagen, Denmark I'm mostly interested in human history and evolution, but also more general: Bioinformatics, Population genetics, Phylogenetics, aDNA, Simulation tools and Palaeoproteomics.

Hello Hello, If you have some downtime and want to read something excitingly odd, read on the enamel proteins of Homo naledi: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... Working closely with Alberto, @clairekoenig.bsky.social, @ipatramanis.bsky.social, and the rest of our collaborators was just so wonderful.

Proteomic analysis of dental enamel from 20 Homo naledi individuals shows no male markers

The morphological homogeneity of the middle Pleistocene hominin Homo naledi is reflected in its dental proteome, with no evidence supporting confident identification of male individuals, and the detec...

Interesting points! If you look at the protein data alone, there are no recovered variants that support these samples being very divergent from modern humans, e.g. 'H.erectus like'. For comparison, the H.antecessor enamel had a variant, placing it as an outgroup to nean, deni, and present day humans

I feel a little heretical in saying that the headlines may say Homo erectus, but the Denisovan connection is pointing me a different direction. The connections over time within China are an old topic, and protein data has made them resurface again. www.johnhawks.net/p/rethinking...

Seeing our work on videnskab.dk brings back memories of those fieldwork days. It was a great journey from sampling archaeological and old river sediments in Serbia to the ancient DNA labs in Copenhagen. Read more about the challenges and our findings in the original paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

It is fascinating how even small traces of DNA preserved in mud can act as an archive of human–environment interactions across millennia. The article is in Danish, apologies for that 🙂 But there are some great ancient DNA details and pictures in there. videnskab.dk/naturvidensk...

The slander slanders on. Criticizing #ColossalBio and its co-founder Ben Lamm for their de-extinction #DisInformation campaign complete with #DeepFake dire wolves & woolly mammoths has unleashed a slew poorly written AI news stories about me, again 🙄 www.greenmatters.com/news/lynch-s...

The Paranthropus paper is out! :D See the post from Palesa for a quick summary. Although technically small in scale (4 specimens🦷), this work took many years and many people to complete... Excited to see how the results we show will be applied to future sample sets, now that we know what works!

Hello, Our paper on enamel proteins from Paranthropus robustus has finally been peer reviewed, please have a read here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Paranthropus robustus has been puzzling scientists since its discovery in 1938 in South Africa, where a high number of fossils have been found.

I am delighted to share with you some new insights into the selection processes that shaped the Spanish population! This work has been led by @ebosch1972.bsky.social @francesccalafell.bsky.social ( @upf.edu ) in collaboration with Rafael de Cid ( @igtp.bsky.social ) and @sabiagini.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We’ve released a preprint on #palaeoproteomics and #phylogenetics ! Over the years, I’ve gotten multiple questions on the usefulness of ancient proteins in resolving phylogenetic questions. This is our attempt to provide some answers: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
