@arneraudrey Thank you, Audrey!! I appreciate it 😀

@AnthroSteph Stephanie, it’s BEAUTIFUL and BRILLIANT!!!!! So many congratulations 🎉

We integrated skeletal and aDNA data for 167 individuals to understand health across the shift to farming, representing a snapshot of this dynamic and nuanced process (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…). The project was a team effort and I’m fortunate to have worked with awesome people!

@PlantEvolution Thank you! 😀

@taylor_vandoren Thank you so much!😀

@AnthroSteph Excellent paper!!

REMINDER: #ancientDNA Journal club is on Friday at 12PM EST! Please join the discussion on an #ethics form created for #ancient & historic samples... Everyone is welcome!

@AlexBoersma_Art @PNASNews @grg_perry This is so awesome, Alex!! I second PJ's response - very honored, thank you!

New paleoart for @PNASNews: the extinct giant koala lemur Megaladapis edwardsi! Congrats to @AnthroSteph @grg_perry and co-authors on their newly published paper, in which they reconstructed M. edwardsi’s paleogenome from a well-preserved jawbone. Amazing! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Our new @FrontiersIn paper led by @UCSB_Anthro's Sean Hixon shows that #dogs have been on #Madagascar for at least 1,000 years. We use stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to reveal how dogs interacted with endemic Malagasy fauna. Open Access: doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2…

@EDGEinthewild @CoastalPaleo The images will eventually be available on an open access platform, but for now the 3D fossil scans and a couple of images are available to download here: dropbox.com/sh/sgnc0gxsbki…

Giant koala lemur (Megaladapis) facts: ✅ Almost as big as a person ✅ Eyes on side of head despite being a primate ✅ Only extinct within last thousand years ✅ 🧬Genome published today in PNAS!! 🧬 Congrats to @AnthroSteph and rest of team!

@ErikEnbody Thanks, Erik!

@ErikEnbody Thank you, @ErikEnbody! It was an awesome session of talks! Very cool to see different approaches of working with unique/non-model species.

Joel Borgerson (@joel_borgerson) for the amazing illustrations! And a shout out to @ap_sullivan for the Megaladapis fossil scan that I used to make the GIF!

A great team involved! @MehreenRuhi, Laurie Godfrey, @RYRJB, Heritiana Randrianatoandro, Brooke Crowley, Jeannot Randrianasy, Brigitte Raharivololona, @bergeycm, @ProfMuldoon, Stephan Schuster, @MalhiRipan, @theyoderlab, @LoganKistler, Edward E. Louis, Jr., @grg_perry….and

It’s out, in gorgeous published form @PLOSGenetics! 🥳We investigated longstanding anthropological hypotheses about evolutionary changes in human body size & shape sex differences following the agricultural transition using genetic data from the UK Biobank journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…
