Description: The September 1998 NATO Advanced Study Institute brought together contributors reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of research into human origins and tackling the integration of such fields as genetics, archaeology, mathematical modelling, paleoecology, and paleoanthropology. Among the topics discussed in 13 contributions: genetic variances within and between human groups; HLA polymorphism; detecting ancient admixture; primate biology and behavior as a template for human evolution; and the anthropological, demographic, and ecological context of human evolutionary genetics.
