Description: "L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza has changed the way we understand human genetics and culture. Drawing links between genetic and cultural development, Cavalli-Storza has made groundbreaking discoveries in the evolution of Homo sapiens, prehistoric migration, and the origins of human differentiation. Based on interviews with his colleagues and analyses of his work, Stone and Lurquin's biography, the first on the scientist, offers a portrait of Cavalli-Sforza's life and ideas."--Jacket.
