Gideon Mailer

I am a writer and historian specializing in the lives and ancestral migrations of ancient and modern people living in Ancient Arctic & Colonial America, Greenland, Siberia, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

This website is mainly where you will find updated information about my new book project, co-authored with Nicola Hale: Arctic Signal: How the Most Dramatic Genetic Change in Human History Holds the Keys to Vibrant Health.

I came to the University of Minnesota from the University of Cambridge, UK. I am Professor of Early American History and teach about ancient and modern history, evolutionary health, memory, and writing.

I also have another website, hosted by my university, where you will find out more about my other parallel research track on colonial America, the Scottish Enlightenment, freedom & slavery, and the American Revolution: Dr. Gideon Mailer | College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences | University of Minnesota Duluth
