This graduate seminar discusses recent publications on topics related to human evolution and health in modern and ancient populations, using data beyond traditional genetics, including the microbiome, various levels of epigenetic regulation (DNA and histone modifications, micro and noncoding RNAs), telomeres, hormonal influences on the genome (e.g., cortisol, oxytocin), and gender-biased selection in reproductive success under stressful environments.
