Human Evolutionary Genetics
Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of human populations. Starting with an overview of molecular genomics for the non-specialist (which can be a useful review for those with a more genetic background), the book shows h
Human Evolutionary Genetics
'Human Evolutionary Genetics' describes the molecular basis of human genetic variation and the mechanisms which give rise to it. It introduces principles behind the use of molecular genetic data to understand human evolution and population histories.
Genomics
La 4e de couverture indique :"In this title, scientists from the Wellcome Genome Campus reveal how this fast-growing area of biology is being used, and consider the ethical issues that are raised. Their exploration considers the technology needed to decipher the genomes of thousands of species; what genomics is revealing about human evolution; and the impact of genomics on medicine, asking how we can use genomics to identify rare diseases, track pathogens, and develop new drugs, vaccines, and cancer treatments."
Anthropological Genetics
Volume detailing the effects of the molecular revolution on anthropological genetics and how it redefined the field.
When Valor Must Hold
Fifteen tremendous authors. Fourteen extraordinary stories. One outstanding anthology.It is a time of high adventure! A time for noble men and women to say "No!" to the evils that will befall their families and friends if they don't rise to the task at hand. If their valor doesn't hold, civilization will fall.Fifteen authors have spun fourteen tales of hateful wizards, treacherous seas, and scheming foes. Of times when ancient evils roamed the Earth, looking for souls to claim, and dark prophecies foretold what would happen if the Evil Ones were allowed to succeed. This anthology has all of this and more. When Valor Must Hold focuses on heroes worthy of facing such enemies. A tiny brownie st...
Ethnolinguistic Prehistory
This volume provides the most up-to-date and holistic but compact account of the peopling of the world from the perspective of language, genes and material culture. The book provides detailed answers to the question of where we all came from.

The Speciation of Modern Homo Sapiens
This is the first volume to address directly the question of the speciation of modern Homo sapiens. The subject raises profound questions about the nature of the species, our defining characteristic (it is suggested it is language), and the brain changes and their genetic basis that make us distinct. The British Academy and the Academy of Medical Sciences have brought together experts from palaeontology, archaeology, linguistics, psychology, genetics and evolutionary theory to present evidence and theories at the cutting edge of our understanding of these issues. Palaeontological and genetic work suggests that the transition from a precursor hominid species to modern man took place between 1...
Molecular Forensics
Molecular Forensics offers a comprehensive coverage of the increasingly important role that molecular analysis plays within forensic science. Starting with a broad introduction of modern forensic molecular technologies, the text covers key issues from the initial scenes of crime sampling to the use of evidential material in the prosecution of legal cases. The book also explores the questions raised by the growing debate on the applications of national DNA databases and the resulting challenges of developing, maintaining and curating such vast data structures. The broader range of applications to non-human cases is also discussed, as are the statistical pitfalls of using so-called unique data...
Genomic Diversity
One of the major themes of human population genetics is assaying genetic variation in human populations. The ultimate goal of this objective is to understand the extent of genetic diversity and the use of this knowledge to reconstruct our evolutionary history. The discipline had undergone a revolutionary transition with the advent of molecular techniques in the 1980s. With this shift, statistical methods have also been developed to perceive the biological and molecular basis of human genetic variation. Using the new perspectives gained during the above transition, this volume describes the applications of molecular markers spanning the autosomal, Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial genome in the analysis of human diversity in contemporary populations. This is the first reference book of its kind to bring together data from these diverse sets of markers for understanding evolutionary histories and relationships of modern humans in a single volume.
