A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Do the languages and genes of living people contain a historical record of the human species? The pioneering work of Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza has answered this question with a decisive yes. GENES, PEOPLES AND LANGUAGES serves as a summation of the author's work over several decades, the goal of which has been nothing less than tracking the past 100,000 years of human history. When and where did we evolve? How have human societies spread across continents? What is the connection between genes and languages? This book offers a panoramic tour of the major discoveries in genetic anthropology, explaining among other things why there is no genetic basis for racial classification.
