书籍简介

人口遗传学的新经典：改变我们对过去的理解的科学

我们正经历一场知识革命。在过去的二十年里，遗传学以独特的方式揭示了人类的历史。它使我们能够研究个体的基因组，将其与世界各地的人口进行比较，并了解其在人类历史中的地位。

这项研究的领军科学家之一 Lluís Quintana-Murci 揭示了人口遗传学如何改变我们对自己的理解。得益于众多发现，我们现在知道了智人是如何在世界各地传播的：从大约 60,000 年前离开非洲到最近几千年内定居在波利尼西亚的偏远地区。人口遗传学还表明，人类与现已灭绝的物种（包括尼安德特人）混合，使他们能够适应新环境并战胜疾病。这些前沿的遗传学发现也将塑造我们的未来，为个性化医疗提供关键。

但人口遗传学的启示是，我们都是混血儿，是我们祖先在全球各地迁徙和适应的漫长旅程的产物。正如 Quintana-Murci 所解释的那样，没有多样性，没有差异，就没有进化。

《人类》充满了来自研究前沿的迷人见解，是一本开创性的指南，带你了解我们共同的过去开创性的科学。

The new Bible of population genetics: the science transforming our understanding of the past

We are living through a revolution in knowledge. Over the past twenty years, genetics has shed light on the history of humanity in unprecedented ways. It enables us to study an individual's genome, compare it with populations worldwide, and understand its place in human history.

Here Lluís Quintana-Murci, one of the scientists at the forefront of this research reveals how population genetics is transforming our understanding of who we are. Thanks to numerous discoveries, we now know how Homo sapiens spread around the world: from their exit from Africa approximately 60,000 years ago to the recent settlement of the remote lands of Polynesia within the last millennia. Population genetics has also shown that humans mixed with now-extinct species, including Neanderthals, enabling them to adapt to new environments and survive diseases. These cutting-edge genetic findings will shape our future too, offering the key to medicine tailored to individuals.

But the greatest revelation of population genetics is that we are all mixed and the product of our ancestors’ long odyssey of migrations and adaptations across the globe. As Quintana-Murci explains, without diversity, without difference, there is no evolution.

Filled with fascinating insights from the front line of research, Human Peoples is a pioneering guide to the ground-breaking science of our shared past.
