Recent archaeological and palaeontological discoveries and the application of genomic analysis are reshaping the understanding of human evolution and history. Our 4th conference on human evolution will highlight emerging archaeological discoveries and advances in genetic tools that are transforming the field.
This year’s meeting will feature sessions on the deepest roots of human history, highlighting methodological advances in studying human evolution and showcasing the latest tools and techniques in genomic analysis and ancient DNA.Agenda
The conference will start at approximately 12.00 on Monday, 28 April and close at approximately 13.00 on Wednesday, 30 April 2024. All times are in BST.
Discussions will focus on a variety of exciting topics, including:
- Evolutionary history
- Hominin hybridization, divergence and ecological niches
- Population structure, demography and mobility
- Methodological advances in human history inference
- Diseases that impacted ancient humans
- Human adaptation
