PDF-(BOOS)-Jacob\'s Legacy: A Genetic View of Jewish History

A geneticist explains the science behind genetic history and what it has revealed about Jewish originsWho are the Jews Where did they come from What is the connection between an ancient Jewish priest in Jerusalem and todays Israeli sunbather on the beaches of Tel Aviv These questions stand at the heart of this engaging book Geneticist David Goldstein analyzes modern DNA studies of Jewish populations and examines the intersections of these scientific findings with the history both biblical and modern and oral tradition of the Jews With a special gift for translating complex scientific concepts into language understandable to all Goldstein delivers an accessible personal and fascinating book that tells the history of a group of people through the lens of geneticsIn a series of detectivestyle stories Goldstein explores the priestly lineage of Jewish males as manifested by Y chromosomes the Jewish lineage claims of the Lemba an obscure black South African tribe the differences in maternal and paternal genetic heritage among Jewish populations and much more The author also grapples with the medical and ethical implications of our rapidly growing command of the human genomic landscape The study of genetics has not only changed the study of Jewish history Goldstein shows it has altered notions of Jewish identity and even our understanding of what makes a people a people.

Inequality is an urgent global concern, with pundits, politicians, academics, and best-selling books all taking up its causes and consequences. In Inequality, Carles Lalueza-Fox offers an entirely new perspective on the subject, examining the genetic marks left by inequality on humans throughout history. Lalueza-Fox describes genetic studies, made possible by novel DNA sequencing technologies, that reveal layers of inequality in past societies, manifested in patterns of migration, social structures, and funerary practices. Through their DNA, ancient skeletons have much to tell us, yielding anonymous stories of inequality, bias, and suffering.Lalueza-Fox, a leader in paleogenomics, offers the deep history of inequality. He explores the ancestral shifts associated with migration and describes the gender bias unearthed in these migrations--the brutal sexual asymmetries, for example, between male European explorers and the women of Latin America that are revealed by DNA analysis. He considers social structures, and the evidence that high social standing was inherited--the ancient world was not a meritocracy. He untangles social and genetic factors to consider whether wealth is an advantage in reproduction, showing why we are more likely to be descended from a king than a peasant. And he explores the effects of ancient inequality on the human gene pool. Marshaling a range of evidence, Lalueza-Fox shows that understanding past inequalities is key to understanding present ones.
