Seminar with Dr. Elizabeth Sawchuk

As the place where our species evolved and has lived the longest, Africa  harbours the greatest human genetic diversity in the world. Yet we have  only recently begun to appreciate how much this diversity has been  impacted by  events in the last several thousand years - including the spreads of  herding and farming throughout the continent. Drawing on the latest  archaeological, biological, and genetic evidence, Dr. Ebeth Sawchuk  explores the past 50,000 years in Africa and the processes  that shaped the world we live in today.
