Joachim Burger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Burger (born June 27, 1969 in Aschaffenburg ) is a German anthropologist and population geneticist. He teaches and researches at the Institute for Organismic and Molecular Evolutionary Biology iOME at the University of Mainz . There he heads the working group for paleogenetics . Burger is editor of the journal "Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences" and a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI)

Life and research

In addition to biology and anthropology, Burger also studied prehistory and musicology. Since receiving his doctorate in 2000 at the University of Göttingen , Burger has been working at the University of Mainz . In 2005 he was appointed Junior Professor of Molecular Archeology and in 2010 Professor of Anthropology. Burger established the population genetics of the Neolithic in 2005 and sequenced the first genome of an early Neolithic from the Fertile Crescent in 2016. In 2009 he and his team showed that the first sedentary farmers in Europe were not the descendants of the post-glacial hunter-gatherers, but neolithic immigrants. In 2016 he and colleagues demonstrated that the first settled Europeans immigrated from the Anatolian and Greek parts of the Aegean Sea in the Neolithic, but did not descend from the first Neolithic in the east of the Zagros . Burger also became known for his work on milk tolerance, which was only established in Europe long after agriculture had spread through natural selection. Burger is also researching the domestication of our pets. In 2012 he and his English colleagues demonstrated that all domesticated cattle come from a small herd in the Middle East. Burger also deals with the genetics of the Iron Age Scythians and early medieval Germanic tribes in Bavaria.
