Our research has rev ealed how prehistoric human migrations were shaped by climatic events\, in cluding the influence of past environmental shifts in Africa and rapid sea -level rises in Southeast Asia\, as inferred from population histories ali gned with paleoclimate records. Notably\, our recent work traced the longe st migratory trajectory of humans to the southern tip of South America\, w here the resulting population bottlenecks contributed to reduced genetic d iversity. This study also uncovered genomic adaptations to diverse climate s and environments\, including extreme conditions such as frigid regions a nd high altitudes. Additionally\, our research extends to other animal spe cies\, such as sea turtles\, where we investigate the impacts of environme ntal factors on their genomic diversity and resilience.\\r\\nGäste sind h erzlich willkommen!\\r\\nFür Studierende besteht die Möglichkeit\, für das Forschungskolloquium (LV 77999-01) einen Kreditpunkt zu erwerben.Für Detailinformationen wenden Sie sich bitte an Claudia Gerling (claudia.ger ling@unibas.ch [https://daw.philhist.unibas.ch/de/event/details/ist-die-fa milie-so-alt-wie-die-menschheit/#]).
