Iosif Lazaridis is a population geneticist studying human history with Ancient DNA. Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans by Iosif Lazaridis and others compared ancient and present-day genetic data to model distinct ancestry contributions. The result illustrates why a biological population’s history can require genetic admixture rather than a single branching tree. [ref]
