PaleoMetAmerica: An ancient DNA perspective to major historical events in the Southern Cone of the Americas
The project "PaleoMetAmerica" aims to unravel the intricate relationship between ancient human populations and their associated microbes, both commensal and pathogenic, throughout the history of the Southern Cone of the Americas. The investigation seeks to address the significant knowledge gap regarding the pathogens and microbes that were prevalent in the human populations in this region over time. This information is also integrated with ancient human genome analyses to get a broad view of the histories of human populations in the region.
