The Evolution of Human Biodiversity

This is a series of videos on the evolution of human biodiversity from CARTA (Center for Academic Research & Training in Anthropogeny). They talk about the biodiversity in great apes, local adaptations, South American human biodiversity, human immune system diversity, large-scale variation in human genomic DNA, the neurobiology of human cognition, and how evolutionary processes and demographic history have shaped patterns of genetic variation among humans.

Race, Ancestry, and Genomics. Dr. Michael Bamshad, Division Chief and Professor, Division of Genetic Medicine, Pediatrics at the University of Washington, explores how evolutionary processes and demographic history have shaped patterns of genetic variation among humans, and how such variation influences differences in physical features and disease susceptibility among humans.
