Research interests :  My research interests are mainly concerned with analysis of historical data sets, such as Boas’ Native American and immigrant data, and analysis of skeletal changes occurring in recent Americans.  I have also an interest in cranial morphometrics of early American and implications for colonization of America.

Keywords : Population structure, New World, morphometrics, dermatoglyphics, secular change

Research interests : The Y chromosome and the histories and structures of human populations, in particular those of Western Europe.  Haploid mutation processes, including ectopic recombination and gene conversion.  Natural selection on the Y; Y-chromosomal genes and male infertility;  genealogical and forensic applications of Y markers; characteristics of autosomal and X-chromosomal haplotypes and application to human population studies.

Research interests : My research interests now center on the history of Biological Anthropology in the 19th and 20th centuries .  Past interests have focused on environmental physiology and cold stress, adaptation to the environment, human ecology, child growth, and reproduction.

Keywords : adaptation, ecology, growth, reproduction, biohistory

Research Interests : Research interests include human adaptation to environmental and social stressors, and the development of ecological models for understanding major trends in human evolution.  Ongoing field research projects are exploring the biology and health of indigenous populations of lowland Bolivia and Siberia.

Keywords : adaptation, nutrition, metabolism, energetics, growth and development

Research interests : I am interested in human microevolution, and have used demographic and population genetics approaches toward understanding it. With my colleagues I have presented a strong challenge to the grandmother hypothesis.  We have also done work with populations of African and East Indian descent in Costa Rica, to trace the evolution of these communities and to examine their cardiovascular health, in the context of the economic development of their region.

Keywords :  Costa Rica, grandmother hypothesis, human skin color sexual dimorphism, Indio- Caribbean diaspora, Afro-Cribbean diaspora

Research interests : Anthropological genetics of indigenous populations of Oceania and South East Asia, including analysis of structure and migration routes ; Y chromosome and mtDNA sequence variation; forensic applications of DNA including trace DNA; molecular genetics of taste sensitivity.

Keywords : anthropological genetics; Y-chromosome; forensic DNA; Oceania;  taste sensitivity

Research interests : Computational linguistics techniques enable access to latent information in linguistic signals, e.g. alignment, edit distance, part-of-speech tagging, or parsing.  My research program exploits these techniques to provide measures of language variation which may be further investigated for their relations to geography and other biological or cultural signals.

Keywords : computational linguistics, dialectology, language variation; statistical modelling.

Research interests : Investigation of genetic and linguistic effects of prehistoric population contact from a multidisciplinary perspective : particular focus on Siberia (Yakuts, Evens, Dolgans) and Africa (Central and Western).

Keywords : language contact, genetic prehistory, Siberia

Research interests : Human population genetics,  human biological variation, human evolution.

Keywords : population genetics, quantitative traits, population history, Ireland, modern human origins

Research interests : My major research interest is the study of evolutionary forces that shape the current patterns of genetic diversity in human populations.  My research is focused both on the study of specific populations ( mainly from Africa) and on the analysis of the evolutionary history of particular genes that may be involved in human adaptation.

Keywords : African populations, genetic variation, human adaptation, natural selection, human migration

Research interests : Divergence of modern humans specially in Asia, genetic features of human uniqueness, ancient DNA study.

Keywords : evolution, genomics, population, aDNA, humanness.

Research interests : I am interested in the genetic study of human populations and its application to human peopling history since the emergence of modern humans.  My principal focus is the molecular analysis of the HLA polyphormism (human MHC) in worldwide human populations, the statistical analysis of population genetics data, the comparison of genetics with archaeology, palaeontology and historical linguistics, and the study of HLA molecular evolution.

Keywords : population genetics, evolution, anthropology, human peopling history, HLA polymorphism.

Research interests : My main research interest is to understand the processes that led to the formation of  the present populations in Uruguay and other Latin American countries .With this aim, I am involved in population genetics of present and past populations, and their correlation with historical and demographic data together with national identity conceptions.
