Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChiara Barbieri is an Assistant Professor and molecular anthropologist with 10 years of postdoctoral research experience reconstructing human prehistory from genetic data. Her work links genetic fingerprints to demographic events—migration, diffusion and contact—and actively explores congruence between genes and language, with a particular focus on South American prehistory, the spread of the Inca Empire and Quechua languages. She has held research positions at the University of Zurich and Max Planck institutes and brings fieldwork coordination, DNA phylogeny, and uniparental marker analysis to interdisciplinary projects. Chiara’s research spans sub-Saharan Africa, southern Europe (notably Italy) and South America, combining population genomics with comparative linguistics to test hypotheses about cultural transmission. She is noted for translating large-scale genomic patterns into anthropological narratives and for contributing to projects that aim to map global relationships between languages and genes. Based in Cagliari, she combines rigorous statistical analysis with on-the-ground field experience to illuminate understudied episodes of human history.
