Human Evolution Research Program Uppsala

We have a Bluesky account "@humanevouu.bsky.social" and will be posting from there mostly now.

📢Don't miss symposium 10: "Genomes and Generations: Mapping Health and Heritage Through African Genomics" tomorrow at 10:30 in #SMBE2024 Boca de Tomates, moderated by @cschlebu and me. We are looking forward to great talks about human diversity and health in Africa and beyond.

I'm thrilled that our new article was published today in @AJHGNews. It was an excellent collaboration with @cschlebu, Yoro Diallo, Vaclav Janousek, and Viktor Cerny. Population history and admixture of the Fulani people from the Sahel #Africa #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg…

We have a postdoc position in Human Population Genetics available at the Center for the Human Past (@HumanPastCenter). Closing date 31 Jan. Please circulate and apply! More info and application available here: uu.se/en/about-uu/jo…

Please join us for the Welcome Connecting Science conference on "Human Evolution - from fossils to ancient and modern genomes". Many exciting speakers from the various disciplines investigating the human past. Looking forward to meetup at the Welcome Genome Campus next year!

Proud of @ImkeLankheet delivering a great thesis defense today! Thank you to @ktambets for giving Imke the opportunity to showcase her knowledge in engaging discussions!

Many many congrats to Imke who "nailed" her thesis today! Great journey and great thesis! Looking forward to the defense with @ktambets as opponent. @ImkeLankheet. Link to thesis: uu.diva-portal.org/smash/record.j…

Happy that this week I have started my PhD at the Human Evolution program @HumanEvoUU in the Schlebusch group @cschlebu 🥳🧬📜🕵🏼‍♀️ I will focus on different aspects of African genetic history by studying both ancient and present-day genomes from around the continent

We are happy to share our new publication: "BaTwa populations from Zambia retain ancestry of past hunter-gatherer groups" Congrats and thanks to Gwenna and all co-authors! rdcu.be/dRT7t nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our previous MSc student @masterolojist et al. just published version 2 of the popular aDNA kinship detection software READ in @GenomeBiology with H. Malmström, @trstn_gnthr, and collaborators @CompEvoMetu @SciLifeLab_ADF genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Excited to share our latest research on African genetic diversity! Using ABC modeling on full genomes from Central+Southern Africa, we uncover deep African history and gene-flow processes. Khoe-San lineages diverge ~300,000 years ago. Congrats Paul and Gwenna for this great work!

I'm so happy for the poster session yesterday at #SMBE2024. I was presenting some of the previous work that I did together with an amazing supervisor and collaborators. Thank you so much @cschlebu for your support on these projects about human history in Africa. 🌍

We are very happy to share a new preprint. Comments welcome! Many thanks to @CesarFortesLima, Viktor Cerny, Yoro Diallo and Vaclav Janousek for a nice collaboration!

We are very happy to share our new preprint "Wide-scale Geographical Analysis of Genetic Ancestry in the South African Coloured Population". Any comments or suggestions are welcome! With @ImkeLankheet, @RickardHammarn, @lucia_alv1, @maxlarena biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our alumni Martin Larsson, @genesandstuff , Li Pan and @andre_elias (and @trstn_gnthr ) are showing that short-tailed sheep 🐑 have been in the Baltic Sea region for at least 4000 years 🤯 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…

We have a postdoc position in Human Population Genetics available at the Center for the Human Past (@HumanPastCenter). More info and application available here: jobb.uu.se/details/?posit…

I am advertising a PhD position in human population genetics and ancient DNA analyses of African populations in my group (Uppsala U, Sweden). Please feel free to spread this advert and apply if you are interested! jobb.uu.se/details/?posit…

Passionate about human history over the last 10 kya? 🌍 The Center for the Human Past (Uppsala U) and @SCAS_Uppsala invites scholars to explore across disciplines in our sabbatical program. Senior+junior fellows! Dive into the past with us! 🤿 Apply now: swedishcollegium.se/subfolders/Fel…

#popgen faculty interested in human migrations over the last 10k years, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this amazing sabbatical opportunity: swedishcollegium.se/subfolders/Fel…. An amazing place w great colleagues studying the human past across disciplines! @HumanEvoUU @SCAS_Uppsala
