SUMMARY:The role of climate in shaping human demography and migrations dur
 ing the out-of-Africa expansion - Dr. Andrea Manica\, Department of Zoolog
 y\, University of Cambridge University

DESCRIPTION:The timing and tempo of the expansion of Anatomically Modern H
 umans out of Africa have been argued to be governed by changing climatic c
 onditions that opened and closed key gateways to different regions. Howeve
 r\, whilst genetics has played a key role in determining the timing of exp
 ansion waves\, causative climatic factors are mostly invoked without any f
 ormal testing. In this talk\, I will discuss the key dispersal events of A
 natomically Modern Humans that have been associated with climatic changes\
 , and discuss how genetic\, archaeological and climatic information can be
  formally integrated in a quantitative fashion to study their interaction\
 , and better understand the processes by which our species expanded to col
 onise the whole globe.
