商品簡介
With the sequencing of the human genome during the early 2000s, geneticists who sought to support the role of genes in explaining race challenged the social-construction model of race that had been dominant since the 1970s. In the context of the current lack of consensus, contributors explore approaches to issues of race within the discipline of anthropology along the three standard explanatory approaches. Their topics include developmental plasticity and the environmental origins of human biological variation, the tenacity of racial concepts in genetics research, looking for race in the Mexican "Book of Life," and the aimless genome.
