Ancient DNA reveals 1,000 years of human-environment interactions at Crawford Lake

An international team of scientists has recreated a 1,000-year timeline documenting the ecological changes and human impact to the area surrounding Crawford Lake, the famed location of the proposed Anthropocene. By analyzing sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) samples found preserved in the lake bottom sediment, scientists were able to reconstruct a diverse, high-resolution dataset of the [...] Read More...
