Opis

Do the languages and genes of living people contain a historical record of the species? The pioneering work of Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza has answered this question with a decisive yes. Genes, Peoples and Languages serves as a summation of the author's work over several decades, the goal of which has been nothing less than tracking the past several hundred thousand years of human history.
