RESEARCH
In my research I use genetics as a tool to investigate human history. My special interest and expertise in the population history of Africa allow me the opportunity to investigate both recent population movements, associated with farming, as well as deep human history, which is rooted in Africa. My research group is positioned in the Human Evolution Program, at the Department of Organismal Biology, UU. Read more about my research group and our research interests HERE.
