Event Details

Previous lectures on peopling of the world have focused on evidence based on archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistics. Recent major advanced in the science of genetics and reduced costs of processing DNA have resulted in the accumulation of a vast new database. Scientists can now construct a family tree for all humanity, and more clearly understand the component ancestors that resulted in the various peoples of the world today. This lecture on human origins will trace the diaspora from the proverbial Adam and Eve to the peoples of the world today.
