🚨NEW PAPER from the @eegcam.bsky.social!🚨I have never been as proud of something as of the work that finally we can share today: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - we show how a climatically driven Pan African meta population model explains our species genetic and morphological diversity 🧬💀
Pan-African metapopulation model explains Homo sapiens genetic and morphological evolution
Emerging evidence has challenged the traditional view of a single-region origin for Homo sapiens, suggesting instead that our species arose and diversified across multiple geographically distinct popu...

Since Darwin, studies of human evolution have tended to give primacy to open ‘savannah’
environments as the ecological cradle of our lineage, with dense tropical forests

(1/9) I’m hiring! Join my ‘Terraform’ ERC project at the University of Malta, looking at the origin, evolution, and impacts of agricultural terracing in the Maltese Islands. Please circulate to anyone you think could be interested. Starting in the summer.

Can DNA sequence models predict mutations affecting human traits?
We introduce TraitGym, a curated benchmark of causal regulatory variants for 113 Mendelian & 83 complex traits, and evaluate functional genomics and DNA language models. Joint work w/ Gökcen Eraslan and @yun-s-song.bsky.social 🧵👇
