Essay topics: direction
- Proposal - possible avenues of future research, defining a gap in
research (what other aDNA done work has been done in this area, parallels
with work in other periods, archaeologically/anthropologically well-sourced)
- Review - deep and must be more than sum of parts, not a rehash of
an already existing review, specified period-wise, region-wise or topic-wise in
an original way
- Synthesis - comparison of various sources of evidence previously not
combined with aDNA (archaeology, biology, social anthropology, history,..)
- Discussion - ethical, social anthropological aspects of aDNA research,
not retelling of existing literature on the topic
- Perspective - future directions
- Other - upon discussion
