HAES podcast, episode 6

Earlier this year, Mattias Jakobsson appeared in the HAES podcast “Vikings, Genetics and Discoveries through Destruction”. The podcast series is produced by the Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences research network at the University of Vienna, and it reaches 1,31K subscribers on YouTube. Mattias dove headlong in explaining the complex patterns of human migration in prehistoric times, and the genetic variations that help solve the migratory routes’ puzzle.
