Join us as Miguel Vilar, genetic anthropologist and Project Manager of the Geographic Project at National Geographic, shares information about how genetic evidence is used to trace the origin of our species, Homo sapiens, as well as the migrations of ancient modern humans throughout the world.
Moderator: Briana Pobiner, Sinai and Synapses Fellow and Paleoanthropologist and educator at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.
