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.
