DESCRIPTION:Analyses of ancient DNA has been tremendously successful in el
 ucidating patterns of human migration and dispersal.  However\, ancient DN
 A also contains rich information about human adaptation. As humans spread 
 throughout the world we encountered a variety of environments from hot des
 erts and rainforests to the high arctic. Although our ability to conquer t
 hese diverse environments depends largely on technology innovations\, we m
 ay also have adapted to them biologically.  In this talk I will review wor
 k on both ancient and modern DNA that has help shed light on the ways huma
 n have adapted to their environment.\n
