The dutch Y-chromosome from the early middle ages to present day
Previous research on the geographic distribution of Y-chromosomal haplogroups (YHGs) in the present-day Netherlands observed significant spatial patterns, but it was unclear when these patterns arose (Altena et al. Eur J Hum Genet 28:287-299, 2020). Here we present historical Y-chromosomal data from nearly 350 early medieval to Middle Modern Period (500-1850 CE) individuals from 13 locations across the Netherlands. In combination with data from t…
Assembling ancestors
Post-mortem manipulation of human bodies, including the commingling of multiple individuals, is attested throughout the past. More rarely, the bones of different individuals are assembled to create a single 'individual' for burial. Rarer still are composite individuals with skeletal elements separated by hundreds or even thousands of years. Here, the authors report an isolated inhumation within a Gallo-Roman-period cremation cemetery at Pommerœul…
Archival, paleopathological and aDNA-based techniques in leprosy research and the case of Father Petrus Donders at the Leprosarium ‘Batavia’, Suriname
OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether Petrus Donders (died 1887), a Dutch priest who for 27 years cared for people with leprosy in the leprosarium Batavia, Suriname, had evidence of Mycobacterium (M.) leprae infection. A positive finding of M. leprae ancient (a)DNA would contribute to the origin of leprosy in Suriname. MATERIALS: Skeletal remains of Father Petrus Donders; two additional skeletons excavated from the Batavia cemetery were used as controls…
