Tracking the transition to agriculture in Southern Europe through ancient DNA analysis of dental calculus. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance The oral microbial community living in symbiosis with humans is a rich and diverse driver of health and disease that is strongly influenced by our ecology and lifestyle. However, its evolution across human prehistory remains elusive.
