The symposium will include keynote addresses from several of the major figures in the field (e.g. Svante Paabo, whose team sequenced the neanderthal genome; Josh Akey, who outlined the contribution of neanderthals to the modern human genome; Katerina Harvati-Papatheodorou, a poleoanthropologist who demonstrated the shared African origin of modern humans).
