Genomics in Biological Anthropology: New Challenges,
New Opportunities
Molecular methodologies are crucial to our understanding of
human population diversity, as well as our evolutionary
relationships with nonhuman primates. The completion of the
Human Genome Project has given researchers a complete human
reference sequence of genes. Combined with very important
advances in sequencing and bioinformatics technologies, genetic
research projects are now of a multidisciplinary nature.
Anthropologists have the tools to seek information related to
questions concerning the origin of the human species. Genomics in
Biological Anthropology: New Challenges, New Opportunities
explores the impact of new advances in molecular methods, such as
DNA sequencing, amplification and analysis on our knowledge
about the genetics of prehistoric and existing humans. Topics
covered in this volume include an overview of genomic projects,
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis, ancient DNA, mutation rates
in chromosome Y, genomics of isolated populations, complex
phenotypes and forensic anthropology.
This volume is a concise primer for students and general readers
learning the basics about human genetics, human evolution and
biological anthropology.
