Biosketch
His research program focuses on the interaction between genes and culture, and more specifically using data relevant to human biology to shed new light on human history: population settlement in the Holocene, the societies of the past and their funerary complexes. The program lies at the interface between the human and social sciences, and the life and environmental sciences. Research draws on excavations, the study of funerary complexes from different cultures and ecologies, and developing methods to study the biology of past populations. During the past twenty years, a particular effort has been made on generating genetic and paleogenetic data, in order to compare ancient and modern populations with similar markers. The specificity of his work is related to the definition of the research problematic and then the coordination of this research from the fieldwork phase until the laboratory analysis. His fieldworks are undertaken in regions that are culturally and ecologically very different (Mediterranean basin, Egypt, Siberia, Mongolia, Andes), in order to explore different funeral practices and the differential conservation of DNA and organic remains.
