This is why we need to keep training bioarchaeologists, skeletal biologists & osteologists. Addressing Biological Anthropology’s problematic history/legacy is going to take well trained, skilled labourers for at least the next few generations. #Archaeology #BioAnth

Earlier today, I attended a press conference launching our new paper on the future of ancient DNA studies in Africa. I urged the Kenyan youth to venture into science, leveraging the @museumsofkenya global standing & scientific partnerships. #DNAIROBI #ScienceForAll @palaeobeth

Our first group output from the #DNAirobi workshop is now published! Written by co-authors from all over the world, we share our view for what the #popgen and #aDNA research landscape in Africa could look like in ten years’ time (and how we can get there).

An important note of caution about avoiding over-interpretation of IBD results🧬

Found a shared genomic segment (IBD) of a modern genome with a Medieval individual? It does not imply an exceptional genealogical connection, really!

One of my favorite takeaways from #AABA2024 was this slide from Wilson and colleagues (Bioarchaeology in the time of climate change). We are all responsible for human remains!!
ALT 1. If your community calls, you answer. 2. We are all responsible for human remains. 3. We still need to train bioarchaeologists.
