Now in full-color, the Second Edition of Human Evolutionary Genetics has been completely revised to cover the rapid advances in the field since publication of the highly regarded First Edition. Written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, this textbook uniquely integrates genetic, archaeological, and linguistic perspectives on human evolution, offering a genomic perspective that reflects the shift from studies of specific regions of the genome towards comprehensive genomewide analyses of human genetic diversity.

Suitable for courses in Genetics, Evolution, and Anthropology, this edition is particularly accessible to readers with a background in anthropology. It incorporates new technologies such as next-generation sequencing and genome-wide SNP typing, along with advanced data analysis methods, including recent data on ancient genomes and their impact on our understanding of human evolution. The book also delves into the subject of personal genomics and its implications.
