The study of genetics helps us understand human variation from "summary" of Introduction to Physical Anthropology by Robert Jurmain,Lynn Kilgore,Wenda Trevathan,Russell L. Ciochon,Eric J. Bartelink
The study of genetics is essential in understanding the variation that exists within the human species. By analyzing the genetic makeup of individuals, scientists can uncover the differences and similarities that make each person unique. This variation is the result of genetic processes that have been shaping the human population for thousands of years. Genetics plays a crucial role in determining physical traits such as eye color, hair texture, and skin tone. These traits are influenced by variations in our DNA, which are passed down from generation to generation. By studying the genetic code of individuals from different populations, researchers can gain insights into how and why certain traits are more ...
