About us
Our lab is part of the Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science (RCIES) at The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, SOKENDAI.
Our lab accepts graduate students for Integrative Evolutionary Science (IES) course of SOKENDAI.
Homo sapiens diverged from the common ancestor six to seven million years ago. We originated from Africa and spread worldwide. By comparing genetic diversity between species and within species, our group is investigating the evolutionary process of human.
