Yesterday in @nature.com, we presented the earliest evidence of dogs anywhere in the world — three puppies that were buried by Stone Age hunter-gatherers in Türkiye almost 16,000 years ago.

Cores of turtle scutes (shells) are not an archive I usually analyse! Nice to go back to my marine science roots 😃
We identify a link between changes in turtle scute growth rates and environmental stressors.
I have also made the code for the changepoint analysis public: github.com/MRPHarris/Tu...
So happy to announce this new publication on Marine Biology involving 14C & turtle conservation 🔊👇
The work was led by the brilliant R.A.Prof Bethan Linscott (@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social) & included some of the nicest colleagues one could hope for (e.g., @mattrpharris.bsky.social)!

What's that? 5 ancient doggy papers in 10 days is too many dogs?
Can I interest you in some cats?
Perhaps a complete retelling of cat domestication, dispersal, and replacement across Eurasia?
As you wish!
