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 the team we are working on several areas in the world for which we have an interdisciplinary approach. My work focus on three area of the world.
