La presente cartilla se constituye en un acercamiento cultural hacia el conocimiento de la diversidad genética de un cultivo tradicional indígena, que como pocos, ha logrado sobrevivir la historia de ocupación y colonización de la Amazonia, extendiéndose hacia otras regiones del mundo. Este documento presenta una fusión entre el saber tradicional y el conocimiento occidental, usando descriptores técnicos como la coloración, forma y tamaño de la planta y sus partes, conjugándolos con las características de manejo y conocimiento indígena. Mediante este diálogo de saberes, se han establecido los nombres, tipos y particularidades de las diferentes variedades de yuca cultivadas y domesticadas por parte de las comunidades Ticuna asentadas en la ribera colombiana del río Amazonas.

Our genetic markers have come to be regarded as portals to the past. Analysis of these markers is increasingly used to tell the story of human migration; to investigate and judge issues of social membership and kinship; to rewrite history and collective memory; to right past wrongs and to arbitrate legal claims and human rights controversies; and to open new thinking about health and well-being. At the same time, in many societies genetic evidence is being called upon to perform a kind of racially charged cultural work: to repair the racial past and to transform scholarly and popular opinion about the “nature” of identity in the present. Genetics and the Unsettled Past considers the alig...
