Abstract

"A current paradigm-changing aDNA revolution is offering unparalleled insights into central questions within archaeology relating to the movement of populations and individuals; patterns of descent; relationships; and aspects of identity - at many scales and of many different kinds. The impact of recent aDNA results can be seen particularly clearly in studies of European Neolithic populations, the subject of contributions presented in this volume. This has all helped to reset the terms in which we must now consider movements and mixtures of people both at the start of the Neolithic and at its end, and complex questions of identities and relationships. If the terms of archaeological debate have been permanently altered, this has left many issues in its wake. This volume stems from the online day conference of the Neolithic Studies Group held in November 2021, which aimed to bring geneticists and archaeologists together in the same forum, and in the second place to enable critical but constructive inter-disciplinary debate about key issues arising from the application of advanced aDNA analysis to the study of the European Neolithic and Chalcolithic. The resulting papers gathered here are by both geneticists and archaeologists. Overall, they offer wide-ranging reflections on the progress of aDNA studies, and on their future reach and character, and a series of significant, up-to-date, period and regional syntheses of various manifestations of the Neolithic across the Near East and Europe, including particularly Britain and Ireland. Chronological coverage in some papers extends into the Chalcolithic or Copper Age"--

Abstract

Migration is not just a recent, crisis-driven phenomenon, but a fundamental part of human life - and has always been so. This booklet is aimed at everyone who is interested in human migration in the past. In short texts, we first deconstruct twelve common migration stereotypes which are often encountered in both scholarly texts and other media, such as news reports. While most of our texts are written from an archaeological perspective, they also impact how we.

Abstract

Au péril de la science ? « Notre société oscille entre la sciençolatrie et la sciençophobie. Source de toutes les justifications et de tous les espoirs pour certains, la science est, pour d'autres ou pour les mêmes, à la racine de toutes les erreurs et de tous les dangers. A l'opposé de l'accumulation de réponses et de certitudes qu'y voit l'opinion, l'activité scientifique est pourtant, ou devrait être, entreprise de doute et de mise en question. » Solidement appuyé sur sa discipline, la génétique, A. Jacquard lutte contre les graves incompréhensions et les déformations intéressées de l'image publique de la science. Il met en lumière les pièges dont la science est le ressort, les interrogations dont elle est l'occasion et les ruptures dont elle est l'enjeu. Par ce double appel à la vigilance et à l'audace, « il s'agit d'inverser la course à l'abîme où le progrès scientifique sert de moteur ».
