If you’re curious about extinct, giant lemurs from Madagascar, check out our paper on the paleogenome of Megaladapis edwardsi! A collaborative effort that complements previous aDNA, morphological and isotopic work pnas.org/content/118/26/e202…

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 (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21…). The project was a team effort and I’m fortunate to have worked with awesome people!

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!
Our next #ancientDNA journal club will not focus the discussion on a recent paper, instead a longtime attendee will be presenting. Jessica Hider from McMaster University will present the #ethics review board form they have created for #ancient & historic samples... 1/2

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: doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2021.68…

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 journals.plos.org/plosgeneti…

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/10.1101/…

Can you reconstruct the height of ancient people from their DNA? Yes, although not all that that well: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. New preprint led by Sam Cox, with @mootspoints @JayTStock @dudutchy @haak_wolfgang @EvaRosenstock and others not on twitter.

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

We have another fantastic #CHES sponsored lecture this Friday! Dr. Marciniak @AnthroSteph will join us to discuss paleogenomics and the large extinct lemur Megaladapis edwardsi. Mark your calendars now!

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

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 (@ambrquerquetrky)! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
