EMBL – Reconstructing the human past: using ancient and modern genomics

In September, a group of KU AnthGen researchers attended the EMBL Symposium: Reconstructing the human past: using ancient and modern genomics, in Heidelberg, Germany. Below, Dr. Jennifer Raff, Graduate Researcher Lydia Sykora, and Dr. Kristine Beaty on their first day together in Heidelberg, Germany.

Dr. Raff presented “Engaged research with Indigenous communities in North America: an example from the Central and Southern Plains.”

Lydia Sykora presented “The complex histories of human populations in the North American Central and Southern Plains,” in the symposium’s poster session.

On the last day of the Symposium, the KU AnthGen group, along with several colleagues, visited Heidelberg Castle. Pictured is the view from the castle walls.
