Our Genetic Future: The Unintended Consequences of Overcoming Natural Selection by William S Blau
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 926 KB
Overview: The genetic viability of our species is at risk. Three major events in human history have altered the trajectory of human genetic evolution, with lasting effects. First, we migrated out of Africa, ultimately colonizing the entire planet. Second, we developed agricultural societies which allowed local populations to grow and become more sedentary. Most concerning, we have learned how to control and modify our environments to such a degree that most of the historical mechanisms of natural selection no longer apply to us.
In Our Genetic Future, Dr. William S. Blau MD, PhD provides a roadmap to understanding the genetic impact of each of these events. Are we still evolving? What is our future genetic fate in the setting of unprecedented cultural/technological advances combined with the profound growth of our global species? Is our genome improving or are there unforeseen consequences of our success that threaten our continued survival? What can we do to avoid genetic deterioration? This fascinating and illuminating book seeks to provide answers to these questions and more – a must-read for anyone concerned about the genetic fate of the human species.
