Evolutionary biologist at the University of Copenhagen and Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
Likes: Ancient DNA, Indigenous peoples. Dislikes: Mercator projection.
Currently, ybyra supports three human trees (ISOGG, Yfull and FTDNA – in both hg37 and hg38), as well as horse.

And it is quite fast: it took less than 2 hours to analyze a dataset of ~4,000 ancient males.

We hope this work contributes to greater respect for oral history and traditional knowledge. Research shaped unilaterally by researchers – its questions, narratives, and data control – has often brought little benefit to Indigenous ppl. We hope our collaboration encourages more equitable approaches.
