Enjoyed reading @rcbregman's new book "Humankind"; a good companion to R. Wrangham's "Goodness Paradox" and @bharedogguy & @bonobohandshake's forthcoming "Survival of the Friendliest". 1/ 
I especially enjoyed the chapter on #selfdomestication (thanks @rcbregman for discussing our research with @gtesta72 and his group on #BAZ1B) 2/
I was also pleased to see references to @LeeDugatkin's great book about the Belyaev's fox domestication experiment
Delighted to share our new paper on #selfdomestication, just out in @ScienceAdvances, the fruit of a wonderful collaboration with @gtesta72 and his team. 1/

@ScienceAdvances @gtesta72 @MatteoZanella88 @polvere7 @AGMAndirko @ptsgmartins Thread will follow, but I'll let the press releases that journalists worked hard on take priority . Thanks to all of those who talked to us in the past few days. It's a complex paper and we are all grateful for their efforts and questions. Sorry if we could not reply to everybody

The study provides a functional dissection of chromatin remodeler BAZ1B in neural crest stem cells from typical and atypical patients harboring 7q11.23 Copy Number Variants (incl. Williams Syndrome patients). 2/
Our results point to a crucial role of BAZ1B in shaping the human face, which we use as an experimental paradigm to test the #selfdomestication hypothesis for the first time. 3/
