Select Condition 
Book Overview
Who are the Native Americans? When and how did they colonize the New World? What proportion of the biological variation in contemporary Amerindian populations was made in America and what was brought from Siberia? This book is a unique synthesis of the genetic, archaeological, and demographic evidence concerning the Native peoples of the Americas, using case studies from contemporary Amerindian and Siberian indigenous groups to unravel the mysteries. It culminates in an examination of the devastating collision between European and Native American cultures following Contact, and the legacy of increased incidence of chronic diseases that still accompanies the acculturation of Native peoples today.

Genetics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I think the book is absolutely fantastic. Dr. Michael Crawford is a genius. Revelational thinking, not only from a genetic perspective but cultural and archaeological as well, in reference to the human diaspora from africa, and the possibility of several pre-Clovis migrations.
