Click here: Summary, Reviews and More The 10,000 year explosion : how civilization accelerated human evolution
By: Cochran, Gregory
Call No:  Main Collection  GN281.4 .C632 2009
Subject: Includes bibliographical references (p. 253-266) and index The 10,000 year explosion -- The Neanderthal within -- Agriculture : the big change -- Consequences of agriculture -- Gene flow -- Expansions -- Medieval evolution : how the Ashkenazi Jews got their smarts Resistance to malaria. Blue eyes. Lactose tolerance. What do all of these traits have in common? Every one of them has emerged in the last 10,000 years. Scientists have long believed that the great leap forward that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago marked end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this original account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilization arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. Ranging across subjects as diverse as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ tests, Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed.--From publisher description
