@caitlinrgreen key thing is big increase in amount of Ancient DNA, paper just published on first Yamnaya genomes from Russian bronze age -
@dubhthach Ancient DNA is def what's needed, but even at reduced prices, is affordable to do on the v large scale that would be needed?!
-
@caitlinrgreen paper for example published on modern Europeans using ancient DNA from paeloithic, mesolithic and neolithic (model etc.) -
@caitlinrgreen "Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25230663 -
@dubhthach fascinating abstract, thank you! :)
-
@caitlinrgreen The full paper is in PDF format in the other tweet (hosted on http://harvard.edu ) -
@dubhthach grabbed and saved for reading later--looks great :) thanks once again!

@caitlinrgreen these can be quite terminology rich, but generally not too hard to follow, recent paper from Reich lab about Indo-Europeans - 2 more replies
