HOMININ DISPERSALS RESEARCH GROUP

The Hominin Dispersals Research Group (HDRG) is an interdisciplinary group founded in 2005 with support from the Fonds de Recherche Québécois sur la Société et la Culture (FRQSC). Our goal is to investigate the evolutionary basis of hominin dispersals and explore the impact of past climate change on human population dynamics. HDRG members are primarily based at the University of Montreal, the Université du Québec à Montréal, and McGill University and our collaborators are based at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE, France), the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (Switzerland) and at other international institutions.
