🚨 New paper out in Genome Biology and Evolution! We present new ancient DNA evidence from Central Italy suggesting that Eastern Mediterranean genetic influence predates the Roman Empire. @Benjopop_1977 🧵👇 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf149 1/

A New Perspective on the Arrival of the Eastern Mediterranean Genetic Influx in Central Italy...

Abstract. Italian genetic history was profoundly shaped by the Romans. While the Iron Age Central Italian gene pool was comparable to that of other coeval
