Histoire du peuplement de l’Afrique: une perspective multidisciplinaire
Lieu de l'événement
Conférence interdisciplinaire internationale, Université de Genève - Cette conférence rassemble un groupe de chercheurs de haut niveau actifs dans différents domaines (génétique, paléontologie, préhistoire …) dans le but de faire le point sur les savoirs actuels concernant l’histoire du peuplement de l’Afrique.
The continent of Africa, which currently encompasses about one third of all existing ethnicities worldwide, is fascinating because it is not only the most likely homeland of the genus Homo, but also of modern humans (our species Homo sapiens).
For this reason, it meets the interests of most researchers in anthropology, including palaeontologists, archaeologists, geneticists and scholars of many other related disciplines (e.g. ethnology, historical linguistics, and so on). In all these diverse fields, recent discoveries and results have challenged current hypotheses on the peopling history of this continent.
Poster proposals can be submitted until the 15th of March.
