Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution: A Synthesis

Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution: A Synthesisis a textbook on human evolution that offers students a unique combination of cultural anthropology and genetics. <ul> <li>Written by two geneticists---including a world-renowned scientist and founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project---and a socio-cultural anthropologist. 
</li> <li>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. 
</li> <li>Focuses on evolution---or, rather, co-evolution---viewed from the standpoint of genes and culture, and their inescapable interactions. 
</li> <li>Unifies cultural and genetic concepts rather than rehashing nonempirical sociobiological musings. 
</li> <li>Demonstrates that empirical genetic evidence, based on modern DNA analysis and population studies, provides an excellent foundation for understanding human cultural diversity.</li> </ul>
