Genes Culture Human Evolution C
Autor Stone, Cavalli-Sforz, Lurquinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2006
- 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 demands an integration of these 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.
