Synopsis
Since the appearance of modern humans in Africa around 200,000 years ago, we have migrated around the globe and accumulated genetic variations that affect various traits, including our appearance, skin color, food tolerance, and susceptibility to different diseases. Large-scale DNA sequencing is now allowing us to map the patterns of human genetic variation more accurately than ever before, trace our ancestries, and develop personalized therapies for particular diseases. It is also reinforcing the idea that human populations are far from homogeneous, are highly intermixed, and do not fall into distinct races or castes that can be defined genetically. This book provides a state-of-the-art view of human genetic variation and what we can infer from it, surveying the genetic diversity seen in Africa, Europe, the Americas, and India. The contributors discuss what this can tell us about human history and how it can be used to improve human health. They also caution against assumptions that differences between individuals always stem from our DNA, stressing the importance of nongenetic forces and pointing out the limits of our knowledge. The book is thus essential reading for all human geneticists and anyone interested in how we differ and what this means., This book provides a state-of-the-art view of human genetic variation and what we can infer from it, surveying: · How populations around the globe differ genetically · 'Race' and biology · How genetic variation affects our health · The future of personalized medicine

    Better than advertised: this book is in pristine condition. It shipped quickly, was priced fairly, and was well packed in a padded mailer so that it would survive the trip. All around a very good value, and this is a seller I'd be happy to buy from again.

    Most importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the USA to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only, with no cardboard to give the package greater strength. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.

    Shipping was fast. This book arrived sooner than the expected delivery date. The book is exactly as described. The value and price of the book is great. I definitely will order more books from this seller. The packaging was sealed. If you are looking for used books, I recommend buying from this seller. The books are in good condition.
