🚨 New paper out in @NatureComms ! We used bony labyrinth morphology to reconstruct 44,000 years of human population history in northeastern Africa, a region where ancient DNA is almost entirely unavailable. A thread 🧵⬇️

آمل أن يكون هذا الخيط مفيدًا للمهتمين غير الناطقين بالإنجليزية. أعذروني إذا كانت الترجمة ليست مثالية، فقد استخدمت الذكاء الاصطناعي لأني لست بارعًا بما يكفي في العربية (لكنني آمل أن أتقنها قريبًا) لترجمة الدراسة بنفسي.

Bony labyrinth morphology reveals deep population history and isolation among Homo sapiens in prehistoric northeastern Africa (44–3 ka) https://t.co/bNZfHttjJt

@Original_Libbro Most probably yes !

@NatureComms Huge thanks to all 26 co-authors, curating institutions across Africa, Europe, and America, and the many colleagues who provided access to collections.

@NatureComms This study shows that bony labyrinth morphology can yield remarkable insights into population history even where ancient DNA is unavailable, opening new avenues for research across Africa and beyond, where molecular preservation remains a major obstacle.
