🚨 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.

🧬 New preprint!

Was Grecìa Salentina genetically isolated because of its Greek language?

Our data say no!

We found strong genetic connectivity with Southern Italy, with recurrent links to the Greek and Byzantine worlds.

Very happy to share the results of my @MSCActions project done at @UGI_at_UCL with @mt_genes and @pontus_skoglund from @TheCrick. We used ancient DNA to reveal remarkably high genetic diversity in the region of modern-day @Ukraine over the last 3,500 years until ~500 years ago.
