PDF-(BOOS)-Inequality: A Genetic History

How genomics reveals deep histories of inequality going back many thousands of years Inequality is an urgent global concern with pundits politicians academics and bestselling books all taking up its causes and consequences In Inequality Carles LaluezaFox offers an entirely new perspective on the subject examining the genetic marks left by inequality on humans throughout history LaluezaFox 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 sufferingLaluezaFox 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 migrationsthe 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 inheritedthe 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 LaluezaFox shows that understanding past inequalities is key to understanding present ones.
