Extremely excited to start my new lab, Microbial Paleogenomics, at the @GenGen_IP department of @institutpasteur, with the great impulse of the @ERC_Research (#ERCStG, #PaleoMetAmerica) that I just received. What's the lab about? I invite you to come and see this thread (1/11)

A @Nature study @BarberenaRamiro coauthored with Huarpe community leaders shows inhabitants of Argentina's Uspallata Valley welcomed migrants even during a crisis, and that people in the region are related to those buried there 2000 years ago. nationalgeographic.com/histo…

Ancient graves reveal unexpected link to modern Andean people

The findings also reveal that while people in other regions resorted to violence, inhabitants of the Uspallata Valley lived peacefully with migrants during a time of crisis.

A wonderful article in @NatGeo about our recent paper with @NRascovan in @Nature. The history of farming societies in the Andes and its relevance for indigenous communities.
