Lecture on the most groundbreaking results in DNA research
by Eveline Altena – PhD LUMC – Ancient DNA Specialist/ archaeologist

DNA research on archaeological human remains has impacted archaeology quite a bit in recent years, so much so that it has been cited as part of the third scientific revolution in archaeology that is currently taking place.

In this lecture I will take you into the laboratory and show the impact of this field on the basis of a number of groundbreaking studies. We go far back in time to the Neanderthals, but we also look close to home at our own ancestors. And I'll talk about linking one family to large population movements.

Lecture is in Dutch.
