Global Migrations 2019 Public Lecture Series Talk 1: Ancient DNA and Human Migration
Free Public Lecture
‘The Power and Pitfalls of Ancient DNA: What ancient DNA can and can’t tell us about ancient human migrations’
Professor Lisa Matisoo-Smith
University of Otago
Sunday 21 July 2019, 2pm
Toitū Otago Settlers Museum
Please join us for the first talk in our 2019 Global Migrations Public Lecture Series when Professor Lisa Matisoo-Smith discusses ancient DNA and human migration.
The developments in ancient DNA technology in the last 10 years have allowed for the generation of new data that have challenged a number of assumptions about past human migrations. Many high profile publications have resulted, yet we have also seen cases where initial interpretations have been shown to be problematic. This talk will discuss some of the new findings that have progressed our understanding of human migration history and also some of the problems we have seen in the interpretation of aDNA data which highlight the need for better engagement and integration across disciplines.
