Tianrui Zhu
This workshop will take place online. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. Zoom information will be provided via confirmation email to registered participants. Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. Almost all living beings have DNA. It is not only an instruction book for building the body of an organism, but also an archive for the history of the species. With modern technology, we are able to extract and analyze DNA from organisms long dead — humans, animals, plants, and even bacteria. In this workshop, we will learn how ancient DNA is used to reconstruct past kinship, migration, agriculture, and diseases.
