Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Archaeology

His main research concerns Genetics, Population genetics, Gene flow, Evolutionary biology and Ethnology. His research on Genetics often connects related areas such as Human evolution. His Population genetics study combines topics in areas such as Crania, Human migration and Old World.

He interconnects Last Glacial Maximum and Beringia, Pleistocene in the investigation of issues within Gene flow. The various areas that he examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Archaeogenetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Denisovan and Reference genome. He has researched Ethnology in several fields, including Jewish diaspora, Judaism, Genetic structure and Demographic history.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)
  • Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia (723 citations)
  • The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (684 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Ethnology, Haplotype and Haplogroup. His work deals with themes such as Population genetics, Genome, Mitochondrial DNA, Biological dispersal and Genetic variation, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. His research integrates issues of Ancient DNA and Genetic diversity in his study of Genetics.

His Ethnology study incorporates themes from Human migration, Genetic structure, Demographic history, Middle East and Gene flow. His Gene flow study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Beringia and Colonization. His Haplogroup research focuses on Genealogy and how it connects with Genetic genealogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (49.28%)
  • Genetics (43.48%)
  • Ethnology (31.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (49.28%)
  • Genetic structure (13.77%)
  • Ethnology (31.16%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Genetic structure, Ethnology, Bronze Age and Genetic variation. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Haplotype, Allele and Allele frequency. His research integrates issues of Colonialism, Gene flow and Cline in his study of Genetic structure.

The various areas that he examines in his Ethnology study include South asian population, Population genetics and Demographic history. His Bronze Age research includes themes of Steppe, Genetic genealogy and Peninsula. His work deals with themes such as Locus and Adaptive evolution, which intersect with Genetic variation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiple Deeply Divergent Denisovan Ancestries in Papuans. (79 citations)
  • The genetic history of admixture across inner Eurasia. (38 citations)
  • Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and archaic ancestries in Southern Europe (24 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Archaeology
  • China

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ethnology, Ancient DNA, Evolutionary biology, Bronze Age and Genetic structure. The Ethnology study combines topics in areas such as South asian population, Positive selection and Demographic history. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Multifactorial Inheritance and Haplotype, Allele, Genotype.

His studies deal with areas such as Genome, Lineage, Pleistocene and Introgression as well as Haplotype. As part of one scientific family, Mait Metspalu deals mainly with the area of Bronze Age, narrowing it down to issues related to the Population genetics, and often Peninsula and Neanderthal genome project. He has included themes like Gene flow and Cline in his Genetic structure study.
