We are an international and open community of researchers interested in studying human population history, ancestry, and mobility through ancient DNA.
Our main goal is the open exchange of knowledge for the betterment of the field, and to work together to overcome common challenges of human aDNA research. In the future, we plan to organise training workshops, as well as collaborative projects to benefit the entire community.
Please join us on our:
- slack channel for day-to-day advice, help, brainstorming, news, networking, and socialising.
- Twitter, mastodon or bluesky.
to get involved and keep up-to-date or contact us through email! ⭐️
