Ancient DNA from Argentina’s Uspallata Valley shows local hunter-gatherers became farmers themselves — no replacement. Then migrants arrived, sick and declining, just before the Inka. A striking case of resilience under crisis. #Archaeogenomics #Paleoanthropology #SouthAmericanArchaeology https://www.anthropology.net/p/they-didnt-come-with-the-farmers
They Didn't Come With the Farmers

Ancient DNA from Argentina's Uspallata Valley shows that local hunter-gatherers became farmers themselves — and that the migrants who arrived later were already in crisis.

🔴 **Ancient genomes reveal Avar-Hungarian transformations in the 9th-10th centuries CE Carpathian Basin**

_“Our evaluations reveal spatially different histories in Transdanubia even between communities in close geographical proximity, highlighting the importance of dense sampling and analyses. Our findings highlight extensive homogenization and reorganization processes, as well as discontinuities between Hun, Avar, and Hungarian conquest period immigrant groups, alongside the spread and integration of ancestry related to the Hungarian conquerors.”_

Tracing the spread of cacao domestication

The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), whose beans (cocoa) are used to make products including chocolate, liquor and cocoa butter, may have spread from the Amazon basin to the other regions of South and Central America at least 5,000 years ago via trade routes, suggests a paper published in Scientific Reports.
