John Lindo

Dr. John Lindo received his doctoral degree at University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana in 2015. From 2015 to 2017, he worked as a Provost's Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Chicago. Now, he is working as an Assistant Professor at Emory University, Department of Anthropology. His lab specializes in both the molecular and computational aspects of Ancient DNA research. By utilizing an integrative approach, including ancient whole genomes, statistical modeling, and functional methods, the lab examines genetic fluctuations that have occurred in different environments over time, thereby pointing to genetic traits that can inform more fine-grained hypotheses of adaptation. Current research is focused on identifying temporally-extended sets of molecular traits relevant to changes in human population density, changes in social stratification, the adoption of agriculture, local pathogens, high altitude adaptation, and environmental changes caused by European contact (e.g., disease, warfare, and social alterations). The lab is also focused on uncovering regional human population history in the Americas and linking individuals and communities to the multi-faceted ancient civilizations that existed before the colonial era.
