Recenzii

This timely and very important book argues for a biocultural approach to the study of embodied difference, in this case with a focus on race, that leads to a more nuanced understanding of genetic ancestry. The authors postulate that the importance of a deep understanding of how questionable racial theories and the lived experiences of race create the context for how people interpret genetic ancestry and relationships and understandings that spring from it. They argue for a forward looking anti-racist anthropology that is inclusive of both biological and social science.
