Real cool. Post-Roman collapse 450CE, there was no wave of hordes of barbarians. Instead ze local Germans finally and suddenly mated with migrants from NL, UK, who had arrived much, much earlier but had (been) kept separate for unknown reasons

Demography and life histories across the Roman frontier in Germany 400–700 ce - Nature

Analysis of 258 ancient genomes from southern Germany reveals a major demographic shift during the late fifth century, yet family structures persisted from Late Roman times, demonstrating cultural continuity despite profound demographic reorganization.

How virus and epidemics shaped not only human history but human evolution: A masterful synthesis of state of the art History, Archeogenetics, and Epidemiology. Wonderful reading (half way though it and dreading to reach the end). #JonathanKennedy #History #humanevolution #epidemics #archeogenetics

My first time at the Luova @springsymposium and what a plenary. Loved this talk! Such interesting research on #archeogenetics, #humanevolution, #movement, and #dispersal. Excited to see how this could be linked to sociality, disease dynamics and phenology in the future work 👀

Here's a wonderful review of Mischa Meier's lecture on the #plague of #Justinian last night at #jgumainz . We were stunned to have an audience of ca 300 with us on campus, plus 140 who followed the webcast. Thank you all for attending and making this so worth the while!
