Opening slide Progressing the causal revolution: a case study in causal re-evaluation of applied evolutionary anthropology Sarah Myers (BirthRites MPI-EVA) Sarah Johns (University of Kent)

Closing slide Conclusions • Do a DAG * Be transparent about your assumptions • Don't report odds ratios * Pay attention to measurement error * Be more self-reflecting

Fantastic example of intellectual humility from @drsarahmyers at #ehbea2026, re-evaluating a previously published paper of her own using more robust methods. Advice to the audience: “be more reflective”

Local agricultural transition, crisis and migration in the Southern Andes - Nature In the Uspallata Valley, agriculture was adopted by local populations, as evidenced by genetic continuity from earlier hunter-gatherers to farmers; maize-dependent groups from the same regional p...

How did farming reach the Southern Andes? Through migration or cultural transmission? Our new paper in @nature.com combines ancient DNA, isotopes, archaeology & paleoclimate to reconstruct 2,000+ years of history in Uspallata, Mendoza.

As part of the [AI]volution track, Lennard Froma will lead a workshop (Tue 14 April) on using Large Language Models (LLMs) to process qualitative data. Analyse and classify while keeping data on your own machine—more private, efficient & researcher-friendly 🔒💻👉 ehbea2026.com

Cover of the March 2026 issue of Nature Ecology & Evolution. The image is inspired by Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man and depicts clonal evolution within our bodies and pathogens that affect our health via different sized circles within the man and images of microbes around the edges. There is a phylogenetic tree representing evolutionary approaches to medicine.

Our March issue is a Focus on "Evolution in medicine", out now! www.nature.com/natecolevol/...

Including research & opinion on:

➡️Somatic evolution and health
➡️Predicting intrahost evolution
➡️Collateral sensitivity during antibiotic therapy

Hunter-gatherers took refuge in European 'water world' for millennia Ancient inhabitants of the Rhine-Meuse river delta resisted population shifts that transformed most of Europe — until they helped catalyse the expansion of ‘Bell Beaker’ culture.

'Patterns of genetic diversity on the X and Y chromosomes suggested that European-farmer ancestry seemed to arrive mostly through females.

“We really do think that the bits and pieces of the farming lifestyle that were incorporated by these hunter-gathering groups came in through...women".'

Was excited to talk to @davidpinsof.bsky.social and
@dpietra.bsky.social on their stellar podcast. We covered pandemic lockdowns, how comfortable you'd be touching your friend's sweaty socks, why politicians are disgusting, and whether some core concepts in evolutionary psychology even make sense.
