Swedish geneticist Pontus Skoglund has made significant strides in the realm of ancient DNA, working at the Francis Crick Institute in London to unravel the genomic history of early human populations. His research illuminates the genetic connections between ancient and contemporary populations, revealing intricate migration patterns and demographic shifts across millennia. By extracting and analyzing DNA from ancient human remains, Skoglund's work provides vital clues to the origins, movements, and interactions of ancient human groups, offering new perspectives on the development and spread of human societies throughout history.
David Reich, a Harvard geneticist, stands as a key figure in human evolutionary genetics, contributing extensively to our comprehension of the genetic lineage of populations across the globe. His investigations delve into the genomes of both ancient and modern humans, exploring the consequences of interbreeding among archaic and modern humans, as well as the genetic implications of migrations and admixtures throughout human history. Reich's pioneering research has elucidated the complex web of human ancestry, influencing contemporary understandings of human evolution and the settlement patterns of various regions worldwide.
This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies
Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.
Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Pontus Skoglund and David Reich co-authored a pivotal study, "Genetic evidence for two founding populations of the Americas," published in Nature in 2015. This research analyzed ancient DNA samples from prehistoric individuals in the Americas, uncovering evidence of two distinct founding populations contributing to Native American genetic diversity. Their findings challenge earlier models of the peopling of the Americas, highlighting the nuanced origins and migration paths of the continent's earliest inhabitants. This collaboration has had a profound impact on the field of human evolutionary genetics, reshaping scholars' views on the settlement and genetic history of the Americas.
Their collaborative research posits that while genetic studies have traditionally supported a single origin theory for Native American groups from Central and South America, the morphological diversity observed in some of the continent's oldest skeletons suggests a more complex scenario. These ancient remains display traits aligning more closely with indigenous Australians, New Guineans, and Andaman Islanders than with any present-day Eurasian or Native American groups. This genomic signature, varying in presence across different regions and absent in North and Central Americans or the ancient Clovis-associated genome, advocates for a diverse set of founding populations in the Americas. Skoglund and Reich's work not only enriches our understanding of the intricate history of human migration but also challenges the previously accepted simplicity of the Americas' peopling, suggesting a broader array of ancestral contributions.
