African skeletons from early colonial Mexico shed light on the lives of first-generation slaves. Three individuals unearthed from a mass burial in Mexico City show evidence of forced migration, physical trauma, and the introduction of pathogens from Africa https://t.co/Is0Ah9KZae
when did #language evolve? scientists could identify homologous pathways in the auditory complex in humans, apes and chimps - and now suggest 25 million years ago instead of only 5.

27,566 genomes!😮

A new fossil lecture this one on one of my favorite sites, #Makapansgat. In it I examine the hominid fossils and explore the impact they have had on both science, and popular culture including 2001 A Space Odyssey! you can watch it on @YouTube https://t.co/MtQtxxsqqL

10,000 years ago squash, manioc and maize were grown in Llanos de Moxos, making it one of the early places of crop cultivation. Today, traces of this are still visible - in the form of small forest islands where birds nest.

Unthreading the population history of #Oceania has proven to be difficult. But new #genetic#data supports that #Samoa was initally settled some 3000 years ago, a study using 21st-century samoan genomes found out.
