Notă biografică
Naoki Osada is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University, Japan. His research spans a wide range of topics in molecular evolution and population genetics, with a recent focus on the evolution of humans and human-related organisms from prehistorical to historical timescales.
Masahiko Kumagai is a Senior Researcher at the Research Center for Advanced Analysis, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Japan. His research interests include the history and genome evolution of crops such as rice, ancient genomics, the relationship between crops and humans, and the development of platforms for sharing large-scale genomic data.
Hitoshi Suzuki is an Emeritus Professor at Hokkaido University. His research interests include molecular phylogenetics and phylogeography of small mammals, especially rodents. He has served as editor-in-chief of Mammal Study and on the editorial boards of Zoological Science and Mammal Research.
Mitsuaki Endo is a Professor at the School of Economics, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan. His research interests include Chinese historical phonology and dialectology; Asian geolinguistics; and the exploration of human history through linguistics, archaeology, and genetics.
