This text is basically an anthropology textbook on human evolution that integrates the latest biological and cultural research. It comes from the merger of genetic analysis and cultural anthropology. The authors see a co-evolution of genes with culture that helps to define the organism and the environment in which they live in which both are acting as cause and effect.



This book was written at the suggestion of the American Association of Anthropological Genetics (AAAG) with the intent of being used as a textbook at the advanced undergraduage and graduate level. It is broken into four major parts:



Theory: Covering Evolution and Genetic Variations and Isolates

Methods: Field Research, historical demography, molecular markers

General Applications: Forensic DNA, Emerging technology, Linkage analysis

The Human Diaspora: Africa, Europe, Oceania, Americas.



Dr. Crawford originally was to be the editor of the book. Due to contributors failing to meet promised deadlines, he has written a substantial part of the book.
