Abstract excerpt

Medieval Sicily, located at the intersection of Europe, North Africa and the Near East, experienced successive political and religious transitions under Byzantine, Aghlabid, Fatimid, Norman, and Swabian rule. While it is well established that these events led to multi-faith societies, the long-term genetic impact of regime change is unclear. To evaluate this potential impact, we applied ancient genomic analysis...
