A genetic and cultural odyssey: the life and work of L.Luca Cavalli-Sforza
L. Luca Cavalli-Sforza's work has profoundly changed the way we understand human genetics and culture. Drawing links between genetic and cultural development, Cavalli-Sforza developed groundbreaking techniques to trace the evolution of Homo sapiens, prehistoric migration, and the origins of human differentiation, in addition to his earlier work in bacterial genetics. He is also the founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project and continues to work as the principal investigator at Stanford University's Human Population Genetics Laboratory. This biography examines the scientist's life and his immense and occasionally controversial contributions to genetics, anthropology, and linguistics. Based on extensive research and interviews with Cavalli-Sforza and his colleagues, the authors also consider Cavalli-Sforza's accomplishments in the context of twentieth-century political and intellectual history.
