Book Reviews of Genes, Peoples, and Languages
Book Review: An Excellent Introduction to Genetic Analysis of Human Evolution
Summary: 4 Stars
Genes, Peoples, and Languages is an excellent introduction to the study of how the human species has evolved and spread out of Africa. Dr. Cavalli-Sforza has pulled together years of his own research and synthesized it into an easy to read, and sometimes humorous, narrative that looks at the archaelogical, genetic and lingusitic evidence for the spread of the human species from Africa to all points of the globe. A good addition to your library if you have enjoyed recent books by Spencer Wells and Bryan Sykes.
