''Paleogenomic Investigation of Ancient Nubian Populations
Abagail M. Breidenstein(University of Michigan)
The Nile River Valley has a rich history of human occupation from prehistory through the modern era and recent studies have uncovered vast and complex ethnic, linguistic, and geographic diversity for this region. More specifically, the historic and ancientpopulations of Nubia were mobile with broad trade contacts and dynamic histories of conquest and colonialism, which likely contributed to their genetic ancestry. Focusing on the region known as Upper Nubia, this paper presents an effort to begin reconstructing Nubian demographic history via ancient and modern human DNA data. Utilizing paleogenomic data, or ancient DNA, from 88 ancient and 157 modern individuals spanning from the Meroitic period to the modern era, genetic clues are employed to reconstruct population dynamics and understand the mobility and interactions of these groups across the landscape. This methodology has the ability trace human migrations in “real-time” and to reconstruct past population history with enhanced resolution.''
