Description - Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution by Linda Stone

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.
