内容説明
As so much of human history is the history of population migrations, all the world's populations interact at the genetic, morphological and cultural levels.
In the nineteenth century, populations were placed on a scale from 'primitive' to 'advanced'. With the impact of Darwinism, processes of natural selection were sought that might be capable of explaining physical inter-population differences. Continued study of population genetics has led to the discovery of the selective advantages of particular genes, together with an understanding that not all genetic differences are the product of natural selection, but that neutral processes operate as
well.
This is an exploration of aspects of human diversity and the ways in which human populations adapt to their environments.
