Mirror Lab Symposium: Frontiers in Recent Human Evolution
Mirror Lab Symposium: Frontiers in Recent Human Evolution
We will describe and discuss projects that explore genetic variants that emerged in the evolution of modern and archaic humans, and how such archaic variants affects humans today. We will also discuss projects that use ancient DNA to reconstruct the early peopling and history of the Japanese Archipelago. We will explore how we can intensify our collaborations in these areas and brainstorm about future research directions.
