Genes; Culture; and Human Evolution: A Synthesisis a textbook on human evolution that offers students a unique combination of cultural anthropology and genetics.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.

Found this just browsing in the book store and immediately came home to order it. I believe they have one for every state. They have alot of interesting reads and facts about the state. I have lived here my whole life and didn't know alot of this information. It also gives great ideas on new places to go and see. We are already planning a road trip to discover some of the fun things we have seen in this book! Would definitely recommend!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
