Overview
Genetics and Evolution is a six-volume set that explores the principal fields of modern molecular biology from their origins to the most recent discoveries and technological breakthroughs. A century and a half after evolutionary and genetic science began, biology and medicine are coming together to form a powerful new view of the living world that is having a dramatic effect on human health and society. As well as introducing the basic terms and concepts, the set examines the most significant social and ethical issues surrounding current biomedical research and serves as a valuable guide to the world that science is creating.
Human Genetics: Race, Population, and Disease offers a fascinating introduction to the field of human genetics-from its historical roots to recent discoveries in and out of the laboratory-focusing on its applications to medicine, forensic science, and genetic counseling. The book looks at human beings as individuals who arise through an interaction of genes and the environment and explores the rich variety within the human species, including the differences between individuals and groups, the genetic meaning of race, and how genes influence behavior and society.
The volume includes information on
the application of genetics to solve crime
diagnosis and genetic counseling
evolutionary psychology
the genetics of cancer
the "history" of the human genome
human diversity
modern genetics and human beings
stem cell research
The book contains more than 30 color photographs and four-color line illustrations, sidebars, a chronology, a glossary, a detailed list of print and Internet resources, and an index.
Genetics and Evolution is essential for high school students, teachers, and general readers who wish to learn about the "revolution" of evolutionary research and discovery.
