This is amazing, congratulations Megan!!

A landmark new study in nature by Bournemouth University researchers (@palaeoscientist, Fabio Silva) examines 30,000 years of prehistoric population history to understand how human societies develop resilience. nature.com/articles/s4158…

In summary: frequent disturbances enhanced human population resilience, and land use is a significant component of this dynamic. Our work has highlighted the global, deep-time nature of this relationship. Please do repost and read the paper (🔓): nature.com/articles/s4158…
