Anatole A. Klyosov is a US scientist (since 1990) born in the Kaliningrad region of Russia on 20 November 1946. He is now living in Newton, Massachusetts. He is known for his work in physical chemistry, enzyme catalysis, biomedical sciences, industrial biochemistry,[1][2] and mathematical/statistical/ computer application on DNA genealogy studies. In Russia, he held one of the top scientific recognitions, being awarded the USSR State Prize in Science and Technology (1984) [PRAVDA Newspaper, November 7, 1984, front page].

Klyosov was the first person in the early 1980 USSR to use the global computer network that later became the Internet.[3] From the early 1980s the All Union Scientific Research Institute for Applied Computerized Systems (VNIIPAS) was working to implement data connections over the X.25 telephone protocol. A test Soviet connection to Austria in 1982 existed, in 1982 and 1983 there were a series of "world computer conferences" at VNIIPAS initiated by the UN where the USSR was represented by a team of scientists from many Soviet Republics headed by Klyosov. The other participating countries were the UK, USA, Canada, Sweden, West-Germany, and Finland; the following countries did not have direct computer communications and participated with the conference teams via telephone: GDR, Italy, Philippines, Guatemala, Japan, Thailand, Luxembourg, Denmark, Brazil and New Zealand.[4]

From 2000 to 2013, he was senior Vice President and then (from 2006) Chief Scientist of Pro-Pharmaceuticals and then Galectin Therapeutics, a public company in the Boston area, from 1996 to 2000, he was vice president of research and development for Kadant Composites, Inc., a subsidiary of Kadant, Inc., where he directed a laboratory specializing in biochemistry, microbiology and polymer engineering. From 1990 to 1998, Dr. Klyosov was visiting professor of biochemistry at the Center for Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences at Harvard Medical School. From 1981 to 1990, he was professor and head of the Carbohydrates Research Laboratory at the A.N. Bach Institute of Biochemistry, USSR Academy of Sciences.[5] His affiliation is listed as MIR International Inc., USA in the journal Advances in Anthropology.[6] Currently he is Emeritus Founder and Chief Scientist of Galectin Therapeutics and a member of Scientific Advisory Board of the (public) company (the link is provided above). MIR International is his Massachusetts consulting company which he owns since October 1991, currently specializing in composite materials and DNA genealogy (two separate divisions). The Academy of DNA Genealogy is an one entity, between 2007 and 2010 it was the Russian Academy of DNA Genealogy, and since 2010 it became international, the Academy of DNA Genealogy (Boston, Moscow, Tsukuba).The Academy publishes its Proceedings of the Academy of DNA Genealogy since June 2008, all its issues (more than 60 of them, with more than 10,000 pages total) are freely available at http://aklyosov.home.comcast.net. Through Lulu.com Klyosov self-publishes the The Proceedings of the Russian Academy of DNA Genealogy[7][8] and the Proceedings of the Academy of DNA Genealogy Boston-Moscow-Tsukuba.[9]

Klyosov has been prominent in the Russian mass media concerning his controversial theories of the origin of the Slavic peoples and the Arkaim historic site.[citation needed] He has offered a theory of haplogroup R1a being the Proto Indo-Europeans and the legendary Aryans.[10][11] He calculated the MRCA of Slavs, Serbs, Russian, Mongolians, Filipinos among other nations and tribes[12][13][14][15][16][17] and the field of DNA genealogy and the study of history of species through DNA "Molecular History". He is a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science[18] (since 1989), and Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Georgia[19] (since 2014).

Klyosov is editor-in-chief of the journal Advances in Anthropology.[6] The journal is published by Scientific Research Publishing which has been included in a list of predatory open access publishers.[20][21] A mass resignation of the editorial board is reported to have taken place, possibly in 2013,[22] after which Klyosov took over the vacant position of editor-in-chief.
