@arneraudrey Thank you, Audrey!! I appreciate it 😀

[Stephanie Marciniak @AnthroSteph]

We integrated skeletal and aDNA data for 167 individuals to understand health across the shift to farming, representing a snapshot of this dynamic and nuanced process (https://t.co/SRNGJV011T). The project was a team effort and I’m fortunate to have worked with awesome people!

Our new @FrontiersIn paper led by @UCSB_Anthro's Sean Hixon shows that #dogs have been on #Madagascar for at least 1,000 years. We use stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to reveal how dogs interacted with endemic Malagasy fauna. Open Access: https://t.co/kMEX6yRK1B

@EDGEinthewild @CoastalPaleo The images will eventually be available on an open access platform, but for now the 3D fossil scans and a couple of images are available to download here: https://t.co/rjuMbRB1Dm

@ErikEnbody Thank you, @ErikEnbody! It was an awesome session of talks! Very cool to see different approaches of working with unique/non-model species.

Joel Borgerson (@joel_borgerson) for the amazing illustrations!

And a shout out to @ap_sullivan for the Megaladapis fossil scan that I used to make the GIF!

It’s out, in gorgeous published form @PLOSGenetics! 🥳We investigated longstanding anthropological hypotheses about evolutionary changes in human body size & shape sex differences following the agricultural transition using genetic data from the UK Biobank https://t.co/H7WhK3a0ZE
