Human Population History (Mark Stoneking)
We are using the methods of modern molecular genetics to investigate questions that anthropologists are interested in concerning the origin, relationships, history, structure and migration patterns of human populations. Depending on the question, we analyze variation in mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome DNA and/or autosomal DNA in either contemporary populations or ancient specimens.
Important notice
Because I am retiring in June 2022, I will not be accepting any more applications for Ph.D. positions.
Out now!
