Explaining human uniqueness: genome interactions with environment, behaviour and culture.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Oct 2008

Varki Ajit, Geschwind Daniel H, Eichler Evan E

Abstract excerpt

What makes us human? Specialists in each discipline respond through the lens of their own expertise. In fact, 'anthropogeny' (explaining the origin of humans) requires a transdisciplinary approach that eschews such barriers. Here we take a genomic and genetic perspective towards molecular variati...
