A constructive response, and a welcome intervention, this volume brings together biological and cultural anthropologists to conduct an interdisciplinary dialogue that provokes and instructs even as it bridges the science/culture divide. Individual essays address issues raised by the science, politics, and history of race, evolution, and identity; genetically modified organisms and genetic diseases; gene work and ethics; and the boundary between humans and animals. The result is an entree to the complicated nexus of questions prompted by the power and importance of genetics and genetic thinking, and the dynamic connections linking culture, biology, nature, and technoscience. The volume offers critical perspectives on science and culture, with contributions that span disciplinary divisions and arguments grounded in both biological perspectives and cultural analysis. An invaluable resource and a provocative introduction to new research and thinking on the uses and study of genetics, Genetic Nature/Culture is a model of fruitful dialogue, presenting the quandaries faced by scholars on both sides of the two-cultures debate. 606 $aHuman population genetics$vCongresses 606 $aHuman genetics$xResearch$vCongresses 606 $aHuman genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects$vCongresses 606 $aAnthropological ethics$vCongresses 610 $aacademic. 610 $aafrican american. 610 $aamazonia. 610 $aamazons. 610 $aancient world. 610 $aanthropologist. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acloning. 610 $acritique. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $acultural divide. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aculture. 610 $adiscourse. 610 $adna. 610 $adolly the sheep. 610 $aessay anthology. 610 $aessay collection. 610 $aeugenics. 610 $agenes. 610 $agenetics. 610 $ahealth sector. 610 $ahealthcare. 610 $ahuman evolution. 610 $ahuman genome. 610 $aindigenous people. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $avirtual reality. 615 0$aHuman population genetics 615 0$aHuman genetics$xResearch 615 0$aHuman genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aAnthropological ethics 676 $a599.93/5 686 $aLB 29000$2rvk 701 $aGoodman$b Alan H$0970469 701 $aHeath$b Deborah$f1952-$01520293 701 $aLindee$b M.
