Please note that after Carlos' seminar Oded Galor will be speaking at Mercatus for the Washington Area Economic History Seminar. The title of his talk will be "Diversity and Development." His presentation will be based off of several research projects, some ongoing, so there is no one paper that encapsulates the topics,"The 'Out of Africa' Hypothesis, Human Genetic Diversity, and Comparative Economic Development" and "Genetic Diversity and the Origins of Cultural Fragmentation."
