Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Mait Metspalu is best known for:

China
Gene
Genetics

Archaeology is integrated with Ethnology, Ancient DNA and Genealogy in his research. In his works, he performs multidisciplinary study on Ethnology and Archaeology. In his papers, Mait Metspalu integrates diverse fields, such as Evolutionary biology and Zoology. His study deals with a combination of Zoology and Evolutionary biology. His study in Ancient DNA extends to Demography with its themes. His European population research extends to the thematically linked field of Population. He regularly ties together related areas like Population in his European population studies. His research on Gene frequently links to adjacent areas such as Lineage (genetic). His research on Genetics frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Sequence (biology).

His most cited work include:

Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (1054 citations)
The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations (1042 citations)
Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia (1017 citations)

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

Research on Genetic diversity, Ancient DNA, Biological dispersal, Genetic variation and Human migration is a part of his Population study. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Demography and Genetic diversity. Mait Metspalu integrates many fields in his works, including Demography and Human migration. Many of his studies on Biological dispersal apply to Population as well. He incorporates Genetic variation and Allele in his research. Many of his studies on Allele apply to Haplogroup as well. His Archaeology research spans across into subjects like Ethnology and Ancient DNA. In his research, he performs multidisciplinary study on Ethnology and Archaeology. He merges Evolutionary biology with Ecology in his study.
