Spanish colonialism had profound genetic effects on native populations in central Mexico. Previous studies have shown that gene flow from Spanish colonists and African slaves introduced new genetic variants into indigenous populations, but the magnitude of this genetic impact likely varied across communities. While Spanish colonists interacted extensively with some indigenous communities, other communities had much less direct contact. Spanish co…
The genetic impact of aztec imperialism
In AD 1428, the city‐states of Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan formed the Triple Alliance, laying the foundations of the Aztec empire. Although it is well documented that the Aztecs annexed numerous polities in the Basin of Mexico over the following years, the demographic consequences of this expansion remain unclear. At the city‐state capital of Xaltocan, 16th century documents suggest that the site's conquest and subsequent incorporation in…
Nondestructive sampling of human skeletal remains yields ancient nuclear and mitochondrial DNA
Museum curators and living communities are sometimes reluctant to permit ancient DNA (aDNA) studies of human skeletal remains because the extraction of aDNA usually requires the destruction of at least some skeletal material. Whether these views stem from a desire to conserve precious materials or an objection to destroying ancestral remains, they limit the potential of aDNA research. To help address concerns about destructive analysis and to min…
