Human evolution: Towards a genetic history of China
Alberto Piazza1
Scholars of human evolution are well aware that physical traits are mostly adaptive, reflecting the geography or environment — rather than the history — of those who carry them. Therefore, they will appreciate a paper by Chu and thirteen other Chinese co-authors1 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, who have done a genetic analysis of China at a finer resolution than any attempted so far.
- Alberto Piazza is in the Dipartimento di Genetica, Biologia e Biochimica, Università di Torino, via Santena 19, 10126 Torino, Italy.
