"The genetic footprint of racial and gender hierarchies"

(Geschwister Scholl Platz, Tübingen)
Most American populations descend from indigenous Americans, European colonisers and sub-Saharan African slaves. However, the admixture process resulting from the colonisation of the Americas is constrained by socioeconomic and cultural stratification. In his talk, Àlex Mas-Sandoval reconstructs how interactions between racial and gender hierarchies shaped population stratification since the colonisation of the Americas by analysing individual DNA fragments, and offers insights into the evolution of inequalities throughout human history.
