7 leçons sur l'espèce humaine : spécificité, variabilité biologique, diversité culturelle et enjeux de société
Le cours propose un parcours à travers l'histoire de la construction de la connaissance scientifique sur notre espèce. Il discute les obstacles épistémologiques, les préceptes « moraux » et les préjugés qu'il a fallu dépasser pour parvenir aux représentations scientifiques actuelles.

Human & Great Apes Speciation : Molecular Insights
What differentiates our species from our closest relatives, the great apes, at the genomic level?
Three eminent specialists will address this issue through specific approaches: the story according to chromosome rearrangements, the analysis of the MHC complex, and recent evidence based on next generation sequencing data.
Genetic Diversity and the Origins of Europeans
The main objective of this conference is to round-up our knowledge on human genetic diversity in Europeans and to discuss on how to interpret this diversity in relation to both population history and other evolutionary forces like natural selection.
Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
Quarante ans après Kimura, et compte-tenu des développements spectaculaires de la génétique moléculaire et des évidences de sélection dans de nombreaux gènes, qu'en pense-t-on?
