New preprint! We investigated how the immune system of wild colobus monkeys reacts to Hepatocystis, a cousin of the malaria that plagues humans. It's the first first-author pub by the wonderful Amber Trujillo (Amber)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ontario flirting w/ 10% positivity, 200+ outbreaks in LTC, 40+ deaths/d already, 5K cases/d in sight. Field hospitals being built. Surgeries canceled. Was it worth it? How long will we add kindling to this fire? #WeNotMe cp24.com/news/nearly-50…

Y'all are not ready for the amazing week we have planned!! Here is an updated version of our agenda for next week #BlackinBioAnthWeek 🎉🎉

Today, we discuss the legacy and history of racial studies in the field of biological anthropology through the words of prominent Black scholars in our field. Although “race” is not a scientifically accurate biological concept, its effects are very real. #RaceandBioAnth

It was great fun to chat about all things ancient DNA and studying disease in the past with @MerleEisenberg and Lee Mordechai!

Super excited to talk about #ancientDNA and what we learned from the genome of an extinct giant lemur!

Can you reconstruct the height of ancient people from their DNA? Yes, although not all that that well: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. New preprint led by Sam Cox, with Hannah Moots 🏺🧬 @JayTStock Bárbara Bitarello, Ph.D (Dr. B) @haak_wolfgang Eva Rosenstock and others not on twitter.

We integrate osteological and paleogenomic data for 160 individuals to broadly explore health in prehistory, finding reduced stature and other stress markers during the shift to agriculture. A truly collaborative effort! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s out, in gorgeous published form PLOS Genetics! 🥳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 journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Our new Frontiers paper led by UCSB Anthropology'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: doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2…

REMINDER: #ancientDNA Journal club is on Friday at 12PM EST! Please join the discussion on an #ethics form created for #ancient & historic samples... Everyone is welcome!
