About the event

Café Sci - Who were the genetic ancestors of the Ancient Egyptians?

After four decades of ancient DNA research, a newly sequenced 4,500-year-old genome finally allows us to trace genetic origins of Ancient Egyptians.

Dr Linus Girdland will talk about this research and explore how it could now change our understanding of early Egyptian civilisation.
