New paper has found 75% of bison fossils are male
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have discovered that the majority of bison fossils are male, according to a new study in Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences. This research has been stumbled upon by ancient DNA researchers. When ancient DNA is analysed, specimen sex is also determined as part of the sample processing. However during this process, […]

Media Release: Ancient DNA shows European wipe-out of early Americans
The first largescale study of ancient DNA from early American people has confirmed the devastating impact of European colonisation on the Indigenous American populations of the time. Led by the University of Adelaide’s Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD), the researchers have reconstructed a genetic history of Indigenous American populations by looking directly into the DNA of […]

New study identifies origins of skin colour, height differences and milk tolerance in Europeans
Dr Bastien Llamas, from the University of Adelaide’s Ancient Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) was interviewed about the latest findings in ancient DNA research for a recent ABC News story. Dr Llamas was involved in a genetic study that studied DNA from the remains of 230 ancient individuals who lived between 3000 and 8500 years ago […]
