Reflections of our past

by John Relethford

"Reflections of Our Past shows how anthropologists use genetic information of many kinds to test theories and define possible answers to fundamental questions in human history. By looking at genetic variation in the world today, distinguished physical anthropologist John H. Relethford reconstructs the recent and remote events and processes that have created the variation we see, providing a fascinating reflection of our genetic past."--Jacket.
