Overcoming The Frontiers Of Biomolecular Studies On Human History And Adaptation Using Palaeoproteomics
Palaeoproteomics For Hominid Evolutiona Few Decades Ago, Ancient Dna Sequencing Revolutionised Research On The Evolution And Migration Of Archaic Humans. More Recent Advances In Palaeoproteomics (Mass Spectrometry-Based Ancient Protein Sequencing) Combined With Bioinformatic Solutions Have Enabled Similar Progress In Knowledge From Molecular-Based Evolutionary Reconstructions For Species That Became Extinct Millions Of Years Ago. The Eu-Funded Backward Project Aims To Tackle The Long-Debated Phylogenetic Reconstruction Of African And Asian Hominins By Developing And Deploying A New Generation Of Palaeoproteomic Workflows. It Will Use State-Of-The-Art Mass Spectrometry And Bioinformatics To Address The Phylogenetic Relationships Between South African Early Hominins And The Hominid Palaeobiodiversity In Southeast Asia. The Project Will Bring Substantial Advances In Palaeoanthropology, Palaeontology, Palaeoecology And Archaeology.
