In this colloquium, we will use theoretical models and empirical data to examine the extent of interbreeding in humans and other species. In particular, we'll look at how interbreeding between human populations, or between our species and other now-extincthuman forms (such as Neanderthals), has been a facilitator of adaptation to environmental variables, including pathogens.
Scientific committee : Étienne Patin, Lluis Quintana-Murci, Fernando Racimo.
The symposium will be held in English.
