Where did modern humans come from and how important are the biological differences among us? Are we descended from Neanderthals? How many races of people are there? Were Native Americans the first settlers of the New World? How can we tell if Thomas Jefferson had a child with Sally Hemings? Through an engaging examination of issues such as these, and using non-technical language, Reflections of Our Past shows how anthropologists use genetic information to test theories and define possible answers to fundamental questions in human history. By looking at genetic variation in the world today, we can reconstruct the recent and remote events and processes that created the variation we see, providing a fascinating reflection of our genetic past. Reflections of Our Past is a W. W. Howells Book Prize Winner and Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I also appreciate his caution in drawing conclusions from the data too soon. It seems to me that the author does not say, "This is the way it was." Rather he says, "This hypothesis is supported by the data, but another hypothesis may also be supported by the data if viewed from another perspective. More research is required." I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to better understand the scientific method.
