 A very informative readable book, 2002-03-05
This book gives an excellent overview of a belief which has caused pain and suffering to millions of people worldwide. From the beginnings of this doubtful practice right through to modern events, facts are related in an easy to understand manner. The author, although sympathetic to the sensitive nature of the topic, manages to inject his dry sense of humour in the narritive.
Whatever you currently think about science being used in this manner, this is a must - read!

Excellent and thorough work on human genetics and geography, 2000-12-31
This is the unabridged edition that summarizes Cavalli-Sforza et al.'s masterful synthesis of human genes and geography. While some of the details presented in the book may be too technical for the casual reader, the maps and summaries make for fascinating reading for any lay reader with some scientific knowledge. This book tells the story of human migration as has been determined by genetic analysis. The biggest ommissions (admitted by the authors) are minimal description of Jewish and African-American peoples.
