Short Description

Tracking human history from genomes found in kurgans. Such findings will probably significantly change our understanding of history in next years.

• recent revolution in paleogenomics caused by next-generation sequencing technologies
• human ancestry and migrations, interbreeding with other hominins
• instability of population structure, race, and ethnicity
  • races and ethnicities emerged and disapperated constantly through history via admixture and isolation events. Races were almost completely different 10,000 years ago than today.
