Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza was among the first to ask whether the genes of modern populations contain a historical
record of the human species. Cavalli-Sforza and others have answered this question -- anticipated by Darwin --
with a decisive yes. A panoramic tour of the major discoveries in genetic anthropology, Genes, Peoples, and Languages
gives us a rare firsthand account of some of the most significant scientific work of recent years.
