Yiming Wang

Yiming Wang serves as a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Jena, Germany, where he contributes to the Domestication and anthropogenic evolution (DAE) Research Group through interdisciplinary investigations of human-environmental co-evolution.

His core research domains include:

• Plant and animal domestication processes
• Human-induced evolutionary trajectories
• Geoanthropological frameworks
• Archaeological science methodologies
• Long-term evolutionary biology dynamics

Dr. Wang's scholarly focus examines how cultural practices and societal developments have reshaped biological systems across millennia, particularly analyzing domestication as a driver of anthropogenic evolution. His work integrates archaeological evidence with biological data to reconstruct evolutionary pathways altered by human agency, contributing to broader understandings of the Anthropocene's deep roots.

The DAE Research Group employs cross-disciplinary approaches combining archaeogenetics, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and anthropological theory to investigate species adaptation under human influence, with Dr. Wang actively participating in these collaborative scientific endeavors.
