About this title

Synopsis

This book is the outcome of the international workshop "The Origins and Past of Homo sapiens sapiens as viewed from DNA" held Dec. 14-17, 1993, at Kyoto, Japan. The contributors are first-class molecular geneticists, population geneticists and physical anthropologists from USA, UK, Italy, Japan, China, Australia and South Africa who have up-to-date data on the problems of the origins of modern humans. The papers not only present original data, but also vividly discuss the most relevant topics such as diversity of new DNA markers, molecular phylogenetics, origins of Asian Populations including the Japanese, single vs multiple origin hypotheses and so on. This book is unique in balancing the two entirely different approaches of human evolution, one using molecules and the other fossils.
