Professor Dr Joachim Burger (born 27 June 1969 in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, Germany) is a German anthropologist and molecular biologist based at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany, where he runs the (Palaeogenetics Group ) at the (Institute of Anthropology ). == Scientific career == Burger has pioneered the application of ancient DNA technology to resolve anthropological, palaeontological and archaeological questions, particularly concerning humans and domestic animals in the Holocene period. He received his MA in Anthropology at the (Institute of Anthropology ), Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany, in 1996, and his PhD in Biology at the (Georg-August-University ), Göttingen, Germany, in 2000. Since 2000 he has been based at Johannes Gutenberg University, and was made Professor (Juniorprofessor) in Molecular Archaeology in 2005, and Professor in Anthropology in 2010. The main focus of Burger's research is human population genetics of Europe in the early Holocene, and of Central Asia during Bronze and Iron Age. He applies palaepopulation-genetic methods, i.e. uses ancient DNA data from archaeological skeletons and statistical inference methods to compare these "fossil" DNA sequences amongst each other and to modern-day populations. He pioneered the field of human Palaeopopulation Genetics. Together with an international team he showed in (2009 ) that the first European farmers were immigrants to the continent and not descendants of local hunter-gatherers. He also works on the population genetics of animal domestication. Burger is also Editor of the Journal (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joachim Burger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
