I moved to Bluesky and will be "tweeting" from there mostly now. Same username @cschlebu

New preprint!

Rethinking a textbook example of human adaptation "AMY1 copy number evolution in light of demographic history"

Once population structure is accounted for, the classic starch–agriculture narrative becomes much less clear

Our new ancient DNA paper has just been published! We present 28 new genomes from southern Africa - several of them high-coverage whole genomes. Exciting to be moving towards population-level representation of ancient southern African genetic diversity!

We are proud of Maja representing our group at this exciting CERI sympoium!

[Centre for Epidemic Response & Innovation (CERI) @ceri_news]

How can studying ancient pathogens help us understand the diseases of today, and even anticipate those of tomorrow? 🧬🌍

Join us for a special keynote lecture where two leading scientists explore how genomics bridges time, ecosystems, and health.

Dr. @MajaVukovikj (Uppsala University) will take us back thousands of years through ancient DNA to map Africa’s disease history, revealing how past infections shaped human evolution and health.

Dr. @erikkarlsson (Institut Pasteur du Cambodge) brings us to the frontlines of #OneHealth surveillance, using environmental sampling and #metagenomics to track emerging viruses at the animal–human interface.

Join us in person or online for this thought-provoking session.

We've put together another great interdisciplinary paper on our work in DRC. This time we have entered into a 'conversation' with Jan Vansina's early work on the Kwilu-Kasai, with new arch, ling, genetic, and palaeoenv data @ Quaternary Env and Humans

A popular science feature now available on our recently published Fulani study in The Conversation - Africa!

[The Conversation Africa @TC_Africa]

Genetic insights into the Fulani people not only illuminate their biological history but also enrich our understanding of their cultural and historical narratives.
