The Legacy --Glossary --References --IndexDrawing links between genetic and cultural development, Cavalli-Sforza developed groundbreaking techniques to trace the evolution of Homo sapiens and the origins of human differentiation, in addition to his earlier work in bacterial genetics. He is also the founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project and continues to work as the principal investigator at Stanford University's Human Population Genetics Laboratory. Based on extensive research and interviews with Cavalli-Sforza and his colleagues, this biography examines the scientist's life and his immense and occasionally controversial contributions to genetics, anthropology, and linguistics.GeneticistsCaliforniaBiographyElectronic books.Geneticists576.5/092BStone Linda1947-1052317Lurquin Paul F1031451MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451643103321A genetic and cultural odyssey2483486UNINA
