Uno studio ricostruisce per la prima volta 15mila anni di storia femminile della Sicilia

L'analisi del Dna mitocondriale ha infatti permesso ai ricercatori di ricostruire con precisione l'arrivo, la scomparsa e la mescolanza dei diversi gruppi che …

A comparison of ancient and modern Sicilian mitogenomes shows the presence of paleolithic groups from western Eurasia and their replacement by neolithic farming groups, as well as migrations from Africa at different times since the Bronze Age. scim.ag/47T4ErA

Thrilled to have contributed to this work, which represents a part of my PhD thesis! Huge thanks to all the authors who made it possible. In this work we investigate 15,000 years of genetic history in Sicily. Check it out!

Fifteen millennia of human mitogenome evolution in Sicily

Mitogenomes spanning 15 millennia reveal a genetic discontinuity within Sicily and continuous gene flow from Eurasia and Africa.

Many Europeans had the dark skin and eyes of their African ancestors well into the Bronze and Iron ages, according to estimates of genotype likelihoods for 348 ancient genomes from Eurasia. In PNAS: ow.ly/oU9R50WvoAG
