Face to face with a #Mesolithic woman from the #Meuse Valley, 10,500 years ago. She was one of the Western European hunter-gatherers with a slightly lighter skin than Cheddar Man (the Indigenous Briton).

#Matriliny in Neolithic E #China over 4500 years ago among millet farmers on the coast, with dual organisation of matrilineal clans.
'Fujia inhabitants engaged in millet-based farming and animal husbandry, with probable access to marine and/or freshwater resources.'
Pigs, not large livestock...were LH Morgan and Engels right on matrilineal priority then?
'Modern humans were essentially like waves crashing on a beach, slowly but steadily eroding the beach away.” With this vivid simile, Princeton geneticist Joshua Akey describes a process that, until now, was shrouded in the mist of deep time: the incorporation, not extermination, of Neanderthals into the gene pool of modern humans.'

aDNA of ancient Colombian group, c 6,000 years ago,
'the group lived in the high plateaus of present-day Bogotá, Colombia—close to where the Americas meet. Scientists aren't sure exactly where they fall in the family tree because they're not closely related to ancient Native Americans in North America and also not linked to ancient or present-day South Americans.'

🧬 **Largest-ever ancient DNA study on a medieval cemetery reveals 1,000 years of genetic history in the Low Countries**
“_Remarkably, it also uncovered the first direct evidence of the plague in medieval Flanders, at a time when no written sources from the town make mention of the disease._”

Great read by @jfy133 et al. on challenges in #RDM and #OpenData in #PalaeoGenomics: https://rdcu.be/d21Kn
very similar problems that I see in #IsotopeArchaeology #IsoArcH, described in more detail here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.24992

Interested in #OpenScience & the state of #DataArchiving in ancient #genomics research (maybe a bit niche, but still 😉)?
My colleagues Anders Bergström, Tina Warinner, & I, all working in #aDNA have published an invited commentary piece describing the challenges in both sequencing data & #metadata archiving. We propose some solutions (some active!) to improve adherence to #FAIR in #palaeogenomics. We hope some may be a model for the wider #ArchaeologicalSciences field.
