Our research confirms the archaeological adage "pots don't equal people." and showed ideas traveled further than people in the ancient Aegean.

"Background mobility", the low but steady movement of individuals sharing ideas and materials, can explain how Neolithic practices spread without mass migration in early Neolithic of Western Anatolia.

In West Anatolia, we found thousands of years of genetic continuity despite rapid cultural changes. People adopted farming through idea exchange, not population replacement.

Key findings: Our results showed that the Neolithic transition wasn't uniform: some regions saw cultural adoption, others experienced population movement, and some combined both.

Integrating paleogenomics and material culture data we found a complex mosaic of cultural change dynamics. This new methodology integrating genomics and archaeology reveals the diverse ways people interacted and changed during this period.

Happy to share our new study from my PhD on the spread of farming across Anatolia and into the Aegean and then into Europe. @CompEvoMetu . 👇🏽.

Check out our new paper! . We studied reference bias in ancient genomes and proposed bamRefine, a new PMD correction algorithm. Graph alignment + bamRefine is the most practical solution to mitigate bias, and we urge the community to publish raw data!.
