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. 606 $aGeneticists$zCalifornia$vBiography 615 0$aGeneticists 676 $a576.5/092 676 $aB 700 $aStone$b Linda$f1947-$01603943 701 $aLurquin$b Paul F$01603944 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820886703321 996 $aA genetic and cultural odyssey$93928559 997 $aUNINA
