Conference ''Languages and Genes'', University of California Santa Barbara, 2006
September 08-10

Call for abstracts for Poster Session

The University of California Santa Barbara will host an interdisciplinary
conference ''Languages and Genes'' on 2006 September 8-10, which will bring
together leading international specialists in the areas of linguistics,
genetics, anthropology, and archeology. The aim is to ascertain the state of the
art with regard to cooperative research among these disciplines relating to
human prehistory, in particular the major population movements that led to the
demographic distribution of population groups, and especially to identify the
most promising developments for future research on this problem from a
multi-disciplinary perspective.

The conference will incorporate a poster session and we invite abstracts for
consideration in this session. Abstracts should be a maximum of one page and
should be sent no later than 2006 March 10 to Bernard Comrie at the e-mail
address <comrie at eva.mpg.de>. Those submitting abstracts will be informed of the
status of their abstract by the end of April.

The conference web site is currently under construction; further information
will be posted when it is ready.
