Paleogenomics and Archaeology: recent debates about the spread of steppe ancestry in Westernmost Europe

Археология евразийских степей, 2022
The recent development of paleogenetics has had a large impact on much of archaeology. Particularly surprising has been the discovery of a connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the Eurasian steppes, an unexpected link between the first stages of ...

Contribution of cultural heritage values to steppe conservation on ancient burial mounds of Eurasia

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Civilizations, including ancient ones, have shaped global ecosystems in many ways through coevolution of landscapes and humans. However, the cultural legacies of ancient and lost civilizations are rarely considered in the conservation of the Eurasian steppe biome.

‘Sense of place’ and conservation: Toponym diversity helps to maintain vegetation naturalness

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 1027-1033, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Place names are an important but vanishing part of cultural diversity, and their relevance for environmental sciences is increasingly acknowledged. Still little is known about whether the diversity of toponyms affects human–nature relationships and the decisions of humans on how to use certain parts of the landscape.

Current allele distribution of the human longevity gene APOE in Europe can mainly be explained by ancient admixture

Aging Cell, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
We investigated the evolutionary history of the three major APOE alleles in Europe by analysing ancient DNA samples up to 12,000 years old. Our analyses indicated that selection led to large frequency differences between the earliest European populations (i.e., hunter‐gatherers vs. early farmers), possibly due to changes in diet/lifestyle. However, the

Simulated patterns of mitochondrial diversity are consistent with partial population turnover in Bronze Age Central Europe

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 177, Issue 1, Page 134-146, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives The analysis of ancient mitochondrial DNA from osteological remains has challenged previous conclusions drawn from the analysis of mitochondrial DNA from present populations, notably by revealing an absence of genetic continuity between the Neolithic and modern populations in Central Europe.

Factors affecting attitudes toward migrants—An evolutionary approach

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2021., 2021
Abstract Objective To understand migration from an evolutionary perspective, this phenomenon has so far been mainly investigated in animal species. We therefore aim to investigate the potential evolutionary roots of attitudes toward migrants in humans.
