Alejandra Perotti, an invertebrate biologist at the University of Reading who specializes in lice, says the work is intriguing, but she wants to see the researchers expand and diversify their sample. For instance, only a single louse in the study came from Africa and relatively few came from South America, she notes, limiting the authors’ ability to infer how lice from around world relate to one another. She adds that sequencing the insects’ whole genomes—a project Perotti herself is working on—will offer scientists even more reliable means for pinning down the relatedness between lice groups, as well as matching those to human populations, past and present.

If it comes up twelve thousand years ago someone is going to have some explaining to do.
fixed your leftist headline.
Somebody is FOS. If the Europeans brought lice in, it didn’t take them long to exterminate them but those from south of the border and the Caribbeaner Islands brought them back in pretty quickly.
I got some lice DNA and sent it in to be analyzed and the lab responded “Where did you get Chuck Schumer’s DNA?
Somebody’s got time and grant money to burn.
When did the Indians colonize the Americas?
My archaeology is still limited to identifying old school beer can pull tabs, you know the kind that cut your feet if they are hidden in the sand.
Thanks!
Thanks as always!!!!!
They had reservations but not doing that well
Helps to explain setteler’s move from a dugout to first wood structure 1/4+ miles away to first modern structure same distance from the second home.
*Third structure built after use of DDT came about.

Ha! whare ye gaun’ ye crowlin ferlie?
Your impudence protects you sairly;
I canna say but ye strunt rarely
Owre gauze and lace,
Tho faith! I fear ye dine but sparely
On sic a place.
Ye ugly, creepin, blastit wonner,
Detested, shunn’d by saunt an sinner,
How daur ye set your fit upon her-—
Sae fine a lady!
Gae somewhere else and seek your dinner
On some poor body.
Swith! in some beggar’s hauffet squattle;
There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle;
Wi’ ither kindred, jumping cattle;
In shoals and nations;
Whare horn nor bane ne’er daur unsettle
Your thick plantations.
Now haud you there! ye’re out o’ sight,
Below the fatt’rils, snug an tight,
Na, faith ye yet! ye’ll no be right,
Till ye’ve got on it-—
The vera tapmost, tow’rin height
O’ Miss’s bonnet.
My sooth! right bauld ye set your nose out,
As plump an grey as onie grozet:
O for some rank, mercurial rozet,
Or fell, red smeddum,
I’d gie you sic a hearty dose o’t,
Wad dress your droddum!
I wad na been surpris’d to spy
You on an auld wife’s flainen toy
Or aiblins some bit duddie boy,
On’s wyliecoat;
But Miss’s fine Lunardi! fye!
How daur ye do’t?
O Jeany, dinna toss your head,
An set your beauties a’ abread!
Ye little ken what cursed speed
The blastie’s makin!
Thae winks an finger-ends, I dread,
Are notice takin!
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An foolish notion:
What airs in dress an gait wad lea’es us,
An ev’n devotion!
It all sounds lousey...
“ Lice DNA records the moment Europeans colonized the Americas”
Colonize in/Climate change out as the latest buzzword for grant funding.
The Indians colonized tye Americas starting from the 1980s. Today you have the CEOs of Microsoft, Google etc as proof of the successful colonization
