Summary
Over the past decade, ancient genomics has transformed studies of the evolutionary history of our species. As of 2024, population-scale DNA sequencing datasets of thousands of ancient humans are available. These large-scale datasets have facilitated not only in-depth studies of the human hosts, but increasingly also their associated pathogens. In this seminar, I will discuss what we have learned about infectious disease history and pathogen evolution by mining these datasets for ancient pathogen DNA. I will focus on our recent work on genomic paleoepidemiology of 1,313 ancient Eurasians spanning 10,000 years of human evolution.
