Geneticists have begun using old bones to make sweeping claims about the distant past. But their revisions to the human story are making some scholars of prehistory uneasy.

Fortunately for paleogeneticists, wolf puppies don’t chew their food thoroughly.

Paleogenomics: humans and dogs spread across Eurasia together
Dogs have been part of human societies across Eurasia for at least 20,000 years, accompanying us through many social and cultural upheavals. A new study by an international team, published in the journal Science, and led by Laurent Frantz, paleogeneticist at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) shows that the spread of new cultures across…
Un diente reescribe la historia americana
En colaboración con comunidades indígenas, un equipo internacional de 40 científicos halló ADN de una de las dos bacterias responsables de esta enfermedad estigmatizante en los restos de individuos que vivieron en lo que hoy es Argentina y Canadá hace más de mil años.

The paleogenomic evidence provides resounding affirmation that the ecological platform was in place for the First Pandemic to have penetrated deep into the countryside, and all the way across Europe (see figure 6.3).

An article published in the journal "Nature Communications" describes a paleogenomics research that attempted to reconstruct some migrations of the barbarian populations in the 6th century C.E. through Europe. A team of researchers performed a multidisciplinary analysis that includes genetics, history and archeology to get new information on the movements of various populations during that chaotic period. Genetic data were obtained from 63 samples taken in two 6th century Lombard cemeteries, one in Szólád, in present-day Hungary, and one in Collegno, near Turin, in Italy, discovering that the richest graves tended to have ancestors from northeastern Europe while those in poorer tombs tended to have ancestors in southern Europe.
Understanding 6th-century barbarian social organization and migration through paleogenomics Applying a comprehensive analysis of genetic, historical, and archeological factors in two 6th-century barbarian cemeteries, researchers have gleaned new insights into a key era known as the Migration Period that laid the foundation for modern European society.
