- Offers students a unique combination of cultural anthropology
and genetics.
- Written by two geneticists, including a world-renowned
scientist and founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project, and a
socio-cultural anthropologist.
- Based on recent findings in genetics and anthropology that
indicate the analysis of human culture and evolution demand an
integration of these two fields of study.
- Focuses on evolution, or rather, co-evolution, viewed from the
standpoint of genes and culture, and their inescapable
interactions.
- Unifies cultural and genetic concepts rather than rehashing
nonempirical sociobiological musings.
- Demonstrates that empirical genetic evidence, based on modern DNA analysis and population studies, provides an excellent foundation for understanding human cultural diversity.
