Purpose of the meeting
In recent years, genome analysis of human remains excavated from archaeological sites has been conducted around the world, creating the research field of population paleogenomics, which handles more than ten thousand ancient genomic data. In the future, comparative analysis of this paleohuman genomic data with modern human genomic data will provide a new platform for evolutionary medical research. In this symposium, we will invite two paleogenomics researchers from Europe to introduce their latest research results and to discuss the future perspectives of paleogenomics.
