High sharing of N. segments between populations except the earliest Out of Africa populations. Duration of gene flow inferred. Evidence of rapid - and + selection.

Deserts of N. ancestry rapidly formed after the introgression. 🏜️

"'Pregnancy waddle' has anatomical correlates"
Humans evolved early weaning, long childhood and post-reproductive care to boost brain growth.
Anatomical and dietary shifts in Homo Erectus (~1.7Ma) show earliest adaptations for big babies, early weaning, social learning.

DominL uses patterns of archaic ancestry to infer degree of dominance. Provides statistical support for the presence of recessive deleterious mutations in the human genome. Up to 15% of the human genome may carry recessive deleterious mutations! 🧬

New method infers admixture dates per individual, revealing multiple waves of ancient intermixing. Applied to Neanderthal and Neolithic Europe data, it uncovers finer migration patterns previously overlooked by grouping individuals. Compatible with tools like GLOBETROTTER.

The big question 🤩

Luca Pagani: When African lineages and Neanderthals interbred, only a few genomic regions were transferred to Neanderthals. Three genes/variants involved evolved after the interbreeding event, raising the question what distinguishes us as H. sapiens? 🧬

“Germs are far deadlier than Germans”
aDNA reveals Yersinia pestis evolved virulent strains over 1,000 years earlier than thought, with the Black Death likely originating in Central Eurasia. Redefines plague history and offers insights to guide future outbreak response.

@evanirvingpease.bsky.social exploring the evolutionary origins of diseases.

MS genetic risk rose among Steppe pastoralists & was brought into Europe by migration ~5kya. These MS-associated immunogenetic variants underwent positive selection, likely driven by pathogenic challenges.

Great start to final mirning if #HumanEvo25 by @evanirvingpease.bsky.social 🤩Major insights gained by using European & W Asian ancient genomes to establish stratified ancestries that shaped current European 🧬 pool through Ancestry-specic selection. Focus on #HLA, MS & other immune loci
