Author Biography and Research Interests: 

My research covers several areas in evolutionary biology and population genetics, combining both theoretical work and empirical analyses. Of particular interest is the analysis of recombination from population genetic data, the relationship between linkage disequilibrium and properties of the underlying genealogy, and methods for inferring genealogical history from DNA sequence data.

Genes and Human History: What do your genes say about where you came from?

Gil McVean

17 September 2008; Science Oxford.

Our genes can tell us a lot about human history.

Professor Gil McVean will explain how they can be used to tell us about how humans evolved, how they colonised different parts of the globe, and how they were shaped by local pressures from diet, disease and the environment.
