Department of Evolutionary Anthropology

Funding from WWTF

Main scientific topics: Admixture & population genomics in ancient & modern populations, computational tools, and more

Below you find direct links to the PI’s main scientific publications. These revolve around admixture in humans and great apes, and what makes each lineage special.

A full list of publications on admixture and more can be found in the PI-CV and on Google Scholar.
