Alan R. Rogers (born August 13, 1950) is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah. His research is in the fields of population genetics and evolutionary ecology.[1] He is the author of The Evidence for Evolution.[2]

Early life and education

Rogers earned a B.A. at the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. at University of New Mexico, where he studied under Henry Harpending.

Career

Rogers is best known for his work in population genetics, much of which uses genetic data to study the history of populations.[3][4] He has also contributed to the theory of cultural evolution,[5] to life history theory, and to economic theory on the interest rate.
