Very proud of @nclsmartin.bsky.social 👏👏‼️
Well... here we are, I guess! Just submitted my PhD and it feels pretty unreal! So proud of this journey!
More exciting data on the Nile Valley is coming, plus some new projects to announce soon.
Stay tuned, this adventure is far from over! 👀

A history of multiple Denisovan introgression events in modern humans🏺🧪

Review of evidence suggests several Denisovan populations, who likely had an extensive geographical range, were adapted to distinct environments and introgressed into modern humans multiple times.

These findings challenge the long-held narrative about migration into and out of North Africa before and during the Neolithic.
