In this month’s ‘Science Notes’, we examine a recent paper that has developed a new method to identify ‘aneuploidies’ among a large array of individuals from Europe, spanning the Iron Age to the post-medieval period . These are known as ‘low-coverage’ genomes . In such cases, chromosomal abnormalities remained largely undetected in the archaeological record . A similar method has been used previously to determine the sex of an individual by
