Excited to share our new preprint on time-lagged F2-statistics, which informs about migration rates from ancient DNA data. Find a preprint here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.12.710875v1
The work was driven by Giulio Isacchini and Oskar Hallatschek. Proud to be part of it! Also credit to coauthor and Postdoc @ClemensSchmid for solid support on the ancient DNA analysis and archae

Two papers to which I contributed came out back to back in Antiquity recently, which discuss African ancestry in early medieval individuals from England. Even though the data has been available since 2023, we now dedicated more space to these two special samples, and highlight this unusual long-distance connection between Sub-Saharan Africa and post-Roman England. https://www.cambridge.org/core/jo
