Evaluating the applicability of kinship analyses for sedimentary ancient DNA datasets

2026-02-02

Abstract excerpt

Kinship reconstruction in ancient populations provides key insights into past social organization and evolutionary history. Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) enables access to deep-time human populations in the absence of skeletal remains. However, it is characterized by severe degradation and the potential mixture of genetic material from multiple individuals, raising questions about its suitability for kinship i...
