The Institute of Balkan Studies & Centre of Thracology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is pleased to invite you to the lecture of Assist. Prof. Dessislava Nesheva, PhD (Medical University - Sofia) The Genetic Code of History.

As science developed, genetics became one of the approaches that provide answers to many questions and mysteries in both history and archaeology. It gave an opportunity to discover the missing link in human evolution and in the origin of modern humans. Where there is a lack of written sources and material evidence, the bones "speak" through the methods of genetic analysis. How has human evolution proceeded? Who are our ancestors? What is the origin of Bulgarians? What is their path in history? Thanks to the joint research of historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and geneticists, we will be able to answer those questions.

The event is organised under the initiative Every Second Tuesday and will be held on February 14, 2023 (Tuesday) at 17h00 at the IBSCT-BAS (Moskovska Street No. 45) and online via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89489470402.

We are looking forward to welcoming you!

This lecture is organized under the project "Ages of history - integration of genetic methods in historical research", funded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund, contract No. KП-06-Н70-8/13.12.2022.
