par Évelyne Heyer - 11 avril 2008
I am working in the broad field of Human Evolutionary genetics with a special focus in Human population genetics.
The three main questions for my research are :
peopling history
detecting and estimating natural selection
evaluating the importance of social behaviour and their transmission in the evolution of our species
In practice in the team we are working on 3 areas in the world for which we have an interdisciplinary approach :
the Quebec population
Central Africa : the Pygmies and their neighbours
Central Asia : Genetic and linguistic diversity in Central Asia
comparison of nomad herders and agriculturalists
I am currently Editor of Human Biology with F Manni and G Barbujani
