Archaeogenetics and human evolution: the ontogeny of a biological discipline

Genomics and ancient DNA methods have revolutionized many areas of biology, including human evolution. Recently we have seen significant advances in archaeogenetics including the use of large-scale genomic datasets to track human movements globally. In addition, advances in ancient and modern genomics have enabled researchers to resolve a range of issues of importance to indigenous people. Most notable among these is the repatriation of ancient...
