Sinopsis

The most extensive longitudinal genetic study of any human population Based on a long-term research project that examined over five thousand Australian Aborigines and hybrids Provides completely unique data due to the approaching extinction of Aborigines in many parts of Australia As a result of this research, the evolutionary population structure of these hunter-gatherers has been defined more completely than that of any other population at any economic level. The book confirms the shifting balance theory of evolution proposed by Sewall Wright - that random and unpredictable changes produce indeterminate results often leading to evolutionary progress. Written by one of the pioneers in human population genetics, this book is an unique study of immense value to its field.
