Truly honored to have received this award - thank you so much! 🥳 It was a pleasure meeting so many new colleagues and friends at #HumanEvo25 ! @martamlahr.bsky.social @lquintanamurci.bsky.social @aliceleplongeon.bsky.social @cschlebu.bsky.social
Fantastic poster & fab chat with Phumrapee Boonklang on genomic profiles in Thailand 🧬 at #HumanEvo25 this week.
🎉 Members of the Palaeotrails team were recently awarded bursaries to attend this years #HumanEvo25 🧬💀
The team were delighted to participate in the dynamic interdisciplinary programme ranging from genetic 👻 🏜️ 🦠 🧫 to evolutionary 🤰👣⚔️🌍
Thank you @eventswcs.bsky.social
Activate my 🦋 by thanking everyone, especially the organizers, at the #HumanEvo25 for a great conference, and by reposting the nice summaries of my talk by @martamlahr.bsky.social and @palaeotrails.bsky.social 😊
Great to attend the #HumanEvo25 conference with Cesar Fortes-Lima and @a-solernunez.bsky.social, who gave an excellent talk and poster presentation representing the Schlebusch group and @humanevouu.bsky.social!
Will a #HumanEvo25 conference abstract book be made available online ?
Were presentations + keynotes filmed, say for upload to YouTube ?
HPGG was proud to support the #HumanEvo25 conference and to award four poster + short talk prizes to outstanding early-career researchers. Congratulations to @avantikab.bsky.social, @anchieri.bsky.social, @hannesrathmann.bsky.social, and Ruthie Golomb!"
What a great way to wrap up an amazing conference! Huge thanks to all the speakers and attendees! And a big thank you to @aliceleplongeon.bsky.social, @cschlebu.bsky.social, @lquintanamurci.bsky.social, and @martamlahr.bsky.social - it’s always a delight to work alongside them. #HumanEvo25
@heliosdlbs.bsky.social had a poster about this work at #HumanEvo25 - fascinating study 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you @martamlahr.bsky.social @lquintanamurci.bsky.social @aliceleplongeon.bsky.social @cschlebu.bsky.social for organizing a such a fantastic mtg!!! Lots of great science and fun!😃👏 #HumanEvo25
A fab few days listening to great research and catching up with old friends @jonathanrgoodman.bsky.social
@judithbeier.bsky.social and prize winner 🏆@hannesrathmann.bsky.social at #HumanEvo25
A huge congratulations to all the #HumanEvo25 prize winners 👏
🎉 including Palaeotrails’s @avantikab.bsky.social who won a a prize for her poster Tracing Ancient Footsteps using sulphur isotopes 🏆
Thanks Marta for all the #HumanEvo25 posts. I was sorry I could not make it in person this time but your posts helped me get the highlights 🙏

New genomic research reveals that genetic drift—not selection—likely shaped high risk of metabolic disorder in Polynesians, following ancient admixture and isolation. Unique variants underscore the value of studying diverse populations.

Ruthie Golomb looks at Cell-Autonomous Adaptation (CAAs) in Tibetan, Andean & Papuan populations at high altitudes 🏔️
High altitudes are one of the most extreme environments humans live in. Methods combine complementary methods at the cellular and organismal level to identify novel CAAs.

"'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.

@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
@paleogenomics.bsky.social speaking about the effects of colonization on Mexican genetic variation #HumanEvo25
@amygoldberg.bsky.social telling us about integrating genetic variation and archeology to infer recent processes #HumanEvo25

Combating the problems of using reference genomes to reconstruct aDNA from highly damaged samples 🧫
MRB strategy enabled reliable genome reconstruction. Identifying new recombination events, positive selection targets & refined dating estimates for T. pallidum evolution. #HumanEvo25

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! 🧬
