To re-up this, Jolijn did some very nice simulations on this trying to estimate the effective population size of goat as they were introduced to Mediterranean Europe in the Neolithic! #aDNA

Ice Age mammoth bone accumulation sites are a cool and complex puzzle to solve 🦣🦴🧩🤷🏼‍♀️ We have now used ancient DNA to provide an important missing piece: they are mostly composed of female mammoths!! 💅♀️🦣 Why is this relevant? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Check the article here www.cell.com/current-biol...

🚨 A #CPGSthlm -led study uses a large-scale ancient DNA dataset to uncover the origins of Upper Paleolithic mammoth bone accumulations 🦣🦴🦴🦴🦴🧬 In contrast to dispersed sites, accumulations are female-biased, suggesting they resulted from human exploitation! 🏹🍖 OA paper👉 www.cell.com/current-biol...
