Jillani, Mr. Ngalla Edward, National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya - To aid conference on 'Towards Understanding Palaeoenvironment during the First 'Out of Africa,' ' 2006, National Museums, in collaboration with Dr. Fredrick Kyala Manthi

Geo-environmental conditions may have triggered migrations at various times in the last 3 million years ago. Physical human factors and the environment can also trigger movement both at local and continental scale. Ecology and behaviour of a dispersing species becomes more variable as novel environments are settled and no close competitors are encountered. Adaptability, key factor to an organism's ability to endure change, thrive and spread to new environments rather than climatic shift and expansion of grasslands may explain success of early Homo in its novel environments.

James, Dr. Wilmot G., Africa Genome Initiative, Human Sciences Research Council, Cape Town, South Africa - To aid conference on genomics and African society: the future health of Africa, 2004, Cairo

'Genomics and African Society: The Future Health of Africa,' March 26-28, 2004, Cairo, Egypt -- Organizer: Wilmot G. James (Human Sciences Research Council, Cape Town, South Africa). Archaeologists, physical anthropologists, geneticists, linguists, and historians with an interest in the long-term history of African people met in Cairo in March 2004 to debate the implications of recent genetic advances for their disciplines. These paleoscientists found much in common but reported many difficulties in probing the meanings of each other's texts and diagrams.

Preliminary Abstract: This conference will provide a bridge of knowledge that will begin to fill gaps in our current understanding of the magnitude of genetic diversity in Africa and the Americas, its evolutionary and demographic origins, biocultural and ecological context, geographical distributions, and biomedical significance. The conference will provide data on African genetic variants, the presence of African genetics in the Americas, and evidence for new genetic configurations.
