People to talk to I spoke to at ISBA:
Rita Peyroteo Stjerna Courtney Hofman
Here are the relevant papers I know about https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-022-01116-w
https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/366/3/fnz021/5303725 "The signatures of microorganisms and of human and environmental biomes can now be used to provide evidence in legal cases"
"Race in the Microbiome" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0162243920911998
"Does the human microbiome tell us something about race?" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-021-00772-3
None are directly about ancient metagenmics, but they show some ethics issues that the modern microbiome field is aware of
Published back-to-back with https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01470-3
But still very (N) American focused :/

*Thread Reply:* I’m here! I haven’t looked at that paper, is that what you’re asking about?
*Thread Reply:* Nope, just general activity about doing somerthing about ethics 😉
