Palaeogenomics has transformed our understanding of the genetic consequences of domestication, particularly for livestock species, first brought into the anthropological sphere ~10,000 years ago in Southwest Asia. However, we know little of how domestication shaped the evolution and frequency of pathogens affecting livestock. Moreover, the evolution and occurrence of zoonoses - pathogens infecting both animals and humans - in Neolithic and later societies has been debated, but studies have focused on human remains to obtain ancient pathogen genomes, neglecting animal sources. HERDPATH will address this deficit through large-scale palaeogenomic screening of faunal remains from Eurasia across…
