Research Interests

My research is dedicated to the study of the origin of modern humans and their evolutionary history by using genetic markers. Presently, the laboratory is concentrating on the study of Y chromosomes. My personal interest has also been dedicated for a long time to a multidisciplinary approach to human evolution, including demography, archeology, linguistics, anthropology, surnames, and to the interactions of genetic and cultural evolution.
