Biography
I am an evolutionary biologist fascinated by genetic, linguistic and cultural diversity. My interests concern
- What has caused the areal variation that we can see today in human populations?
- What has driven or inhibited populations differentiation or contacts?
- What does the contemporary variation tell us about the human past?
