DESCRIPTION:Demography is central to evolutionary and quantitative genetic
 s\, particularly our understanding of natural selection and the relationsh
 ip between genotype and phenotype. I will show how developments in genome 
 sequencing technology and computational methods have dramatically increase
 d our power to infer ancestral demography using a rapidly growing number o
 f genomes in humans and the great apes. The similar growth in availability
  of ancient DNA has added a new dimension and enabled us to resolve the de
 tails of hitherto unexpected past events. But the more we learn\, the more
  complicated the picture becomes\, and as I will describe\, our current me
 thods are increasingly struggling. I will discuss some new approaches whic
 h may help break the impasse.
