Why Is Pontus Skoglund Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Pontus Skoglund is a Swedish population geneticist, currently at the Francis Crick Institute and formerly at Harvard Medical School. Skoglund studies ancient DNA to verify human history, mostly about how humans populated Earth. He found proof that the first Polynesians came from East Asia, along with another study that found genetic evidence of two founding populations of the Americas.
