A fascinating paper, and one worth reading as we enter a period likely to see accelerated spread of malaria back into areas from which it had been eradicated.

I am so happy to share our #newpaper on how human #distribution in #Africa was shaped by #malaria for tens of thousands of years.
A wonderful work led by @margheritac17.bsky.social @elliescerri.bsky.social and @eegcam.bsky.social. I loved contributing!
