Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, an increasingnumber of disease-causing genes have been discovered and, in somecases, genetic tests developed. However, this is only the first step.The second, much larger phase is the analysis of the total sequence.What does the rest of the DNA do? The answer to this question will bedetermined by computer prediction, expression profiling, andcomparative genome analysis. Comparative Genomics covers such topics as identifying novelgenes, determining gene function, control sequences, and developmentalswitches. The book aims to demonstrate how different approaches takenwith model organisms, such as mutation studies, expression profilingof cDNAs, in situ localization of message and comparative genomeanalysis (both at the gene and nucleotide level) will aid in ourunderstanding of the results coming out of the Human Genome Projectand contribute significantly to our understanding of how genesfunction. ...

Product Description
Research Advances in Genetics and Genomics: Implications for Psychiatry introduces mental health professionals to exciting breakthroughs in endophenotypes, animal models, microarrays, and genetic mapping, as well as general strategies for identifying the genetic mechanisms of mental illnesses.

Uniquely valuable both as summary and signpost, this concise volume provides a fascinating overview of recent cutting-edge developments in the application of molecular genetics, genomics, and proteomics to the study of psychiatric populations.

By reading Research Advances in Genetics and Genomics, you will gain a better understanding of

• Psychiatric Genetics—Reviews and assesses the major research paradigms that have emerged in the field of psychiatric genetics over the several past decades, exploring the major conceptual and philosophical issues they pose and the value of their integration.
• Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids—An overview of the double-helix discovery and provides a context for current endeavors, the original one-page April 1953 Nature paper by Watson and Crick, which sparked a revolution in the life sciences.
• Psychiatry in the Genomics Era—Posits that one of the most important consequences of genomics will be the development of individualized treatments that allow a clinician to tailor therapy on the basis of the unique genotype of each patient rather than on the mean responses of groups of unrelated patients.
• The Genomics Revolution—Details the implications of the genome for future medical practice, including the potential for developing methods and tools to better understand, treat, and prevent major mental disorders.
• The Endophenotype Concept in Psychiatry—Explains the etymology and strategy behind the use of endophenotypes in neuropsychiatric research and, more generally, in research on other diseases with complex genetics, such as schizophrenia.
• The Genes and Brains of Mice and Men—Shows why a detailed assessment of brain function in mice is so important for advancing psychiatric research in humans. Humans and mice share numerous features-in fact, for an estimated 99% of human genes a mouse version may be identified-of brain organization and behavioral responses to many pharmacological agents.
• Microarray Technology—Asserts that microarrays present a methodology for identifying genes or pathways for new and unique potential drug targets, determining premorbid diagnosis, predicting drug responsiveness for individual patients, and, eventually, initiating gene therapy and prevention strategies.

Meticulously referenced, this volume is exceptionally useful as a starting point for understanding the impact of genetics and genomics on psychiatry, serving to introduce psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, and geneticists to this exciting field. ... Read more

Product Description
This book provides an unrivalled in-depth treatise of genomic imprinting, a phenomenon which plays a vital role in many biological processes in developmental biology, evolution and human diseases and genetics. The reason for this broad range of influence derives from the fact that genomic imprinting shields a number of important genes from the full effects of Mendelian inheritance. The importance of this surprising observation, which was discovered less than two decades ago, has been only slowly recognized. The reason for this may be that genomic imprinting is a difficult concept to understand. This book aims at providing interesting, entertaining and detailed information for any scientist, irrespective of their particular field of study. ... Read more

Product Description
The present volume is an attempt to synthesize, present,and argue for what has been learned and remains to be learned aboutthe biological differences within and among human groups. Marks, abiologist as well as an anthropologist, avails himself of the datagenerated by molecular genetics about the hereditary composition ofthe human species. As it happens, genetics has undermined thefundamental assumptions of racial taxonomy, for genetic variation hasturned out to be, to a large extent, polymorphism (variation withingroups) rather than polytypy (variation among groups). Thoughpopulations at geographical extremes can be contrasted, thefundamental units of the human species are populations rather thanraces. Further, genetics provides little in the way of reliablebiological history of : our species, because human populations areculturally-defined, as well as biological, entities. Genetics has alsobeen used as a scientific validation for cultural values - from theidea that there is indeed a small number of genetically distinct kindsof people ("races") to be identified, to more pervasive suggestionsabout the relationship of genetics to behavior. In its presentation ofthe biocultural nature of human diversity as well as in itspresentation of the history of the problem and the illusions embeddedin that history, this will be a widely used textbook that fills a voidin the literature of biology and of physical anthropology. ...

Bankruptcy in the field of social science.
This book is very similar to Gould's "The Mismeasure of Man" except it attacks eugenics more straightforwardly and is even more shameless; just a series of lies and half-truths.But first, let me saythat the eugenics movement at the turn of the century did have twofundamental stumbling blocks: a belief in simple Mendelian principles ofheredity, and a belief in class and elitism. Until universal educationfinally took hold in only the last few decades, where bright students areencouraged to get advanced degrees, elitism or a sense of aristocracy andmoral certitude was part culture. But culture changes.So this book, likeGould's, uses old arguments against new concepts that are no longerrelevant.

What is even more strange however, is that almost everydiatribe against understanding group differences and investigating why andhow humans behave has now been turned around.At one time, like folkmedicine, folk eugenics was in fact largely pseudoscience in that doctrinedrove the science without adequate academic peer review or oversight.Butnow, the opposite is occurring.The radical egalitarians, those die-hardMarxists that reject science they do not like, are attacking academicallyreviewed work without providing any evidence to the contrary. This is howhe describes pseudoscience, and it is in fact what this book is all about. Half-truths and accusations against behavior genetics and evolutionarypsychology, fields that have now matured and are solidly in the mainstream.And social scientists? Still floundering around trying to make sense offailed programs and broken promises.They accuse institutional racism forpoverty but they provide no proof or evidence. They claim thatredistribution of wealth will make everyone equally smart without one studyto show that this is possible. The Gouldian Marxists have now become thePseudoscientists, fighting a rear-guard defense by making claims andaccusations that are clearly incorrect.

This book was written in 1995,but it reads like it was written in 1970. The author has convenientlyignored all of the most recent research in human evolution, sociobiology,and differential psychology. It is as if, in order to make his claims seemcredible, he had no way of addressing the scientific progress made the lastthirty years.And just over the last five years the few caveats he mayhave had about such matters as the correlation of brain size tointelligence have been laid to rest. Numerous recent studies from aroundthe world using sophisticated MRI methods have confirmed that intelligencedoes correlate with brain size, and is different for men and women fordifferent parts of the brain.This is just one example of the obfuscationconjured up in this book.

So is it good reading? By all means. ExistingMarxists will have their prejudices reinforced, while those of us who areunabashed empiricists can take pleasure in the hackneyed attempts atdislodging good solid science. That is, it was for me a pleasure to readbecause on almost every page, the arguments against eugenics could beturned around against the radical environmentalists. It is similar to anatheist reading the bible to confirm, chapter after chapter, theinconsistencies and absurdities of the text to reaffirm their position.

A Broadbased View of Human Diversity
This book is excellent introduction to the thorny topic of human biodiversity.The book's real strength lies in the fact that Marks brings in historical material which illuminates the ideological underpinnings ofwork on human diversity. Dr. Marks, at the time this book was writtenwas a visiting professor at UC/Berkeley.He had studied anthropology atthe University of Arizona and genetics at UC/Davis. According to a noteon the copyright page he is known for his work in molecular anthropology. The book's 14 chapters take an extremely broad view of human diversity,both cultural and biological, and of the attempts to understand and explainthat diversity. The book covers the history of anthropology's attempts tounderstand human biodiversity, the evolution of primates, the eugenicsmovement, a critique of the biological race concept, patterns of humanvariation - both phenotypic and genotypic, the nature and function of humanvariation, the role of human variation in health and disease and a critiqueof hereditarian theory.An appendix discusses DNA structure and function. The chapters are generally well written and referenced.The book iswritten for an academic audience or at least a reader with a strongfoundation in biology. I found the critique of the biological raceconcept to be the most lucid and well thought out one that I have everread. Marks points out that a division of humans into three or fourprimordial races seems to ignore the long history of human intermingling. Either there has always been intermingling among humans - in which case thevery concept of biologically separated races is wrong from the start - orintermingling is a more recent phenomenon in which case race may have beenrelevant in the past but no longer is.Marks points out that the threemajor races identified in the US - White, Black and Asian - correspond tothe three major immigrant groups in US history - from Europe, WesternAfrica and Eastern Asia.[I note that he did not discuss NativeAmericans.] There is an excellent discussion of the history of racethinking as it was applied to the ABO blood groups.This makes palpablethe argument that within-race diversity is much greater than between-racediversity. Marks devotes a fair amount of time to discussing howcultural values impact on scientific work.This is illustrated by numerousexamples, many drawn from a critique of the eugenics movement.It isdifficult, however, to figure out what he thinks we should do about thefact that science is not "value neutral."He appears to suggestthat scientists be better schooled in the humanities and pay more attentionto the social implications of their work.It is unclear to me, however,that the problem with eugenics was that the scientists were unschooled inthe humanities and unmindful to the social implications of their policies. Could one not criticize Marks for simply displaying his own valueswhen he writes, for instance that: "The resolution of the problem ofracism is not to deny group differences, which obviously exist; nor to denythe human urge to associate with like-minded people, which is undeniablystrong; but to ensure that the diverse groups of people in contemporarysociety are given equal access to resources and opportunities.In otherwords, to assure that individuals are judged as individuals, and not asgroup members.The opportunity for self-improvement is vital to a free andcosmopolitan society, and the possibility to take advantage of it must beindependent of group considerations." (p. 168)?How does Marks assurehimself that these values of his do not subvert his scientific studies? The question is particularly troubling because many of the conceptssurrounding work on human diversity - such as "innate ability" -are loaded with social judgements.Is innate ability a static thing? Should society reward provide greater rewards to people with greater innateability? Marks repeatedly makes the observation that studies of humansare different than studies of animals, because there are practicalimplications to the results of studies on humans.But his book amplydemonstrates how studies on animals - such as studies on "rape"in scorpionflies - have also been misused to draw conclusions about humans. One could easily argue that all science is inevitably based on values. The book appears to be a collection of lectures and unfortunately there isa fair amount of repetition.The book might have been stronger had itdeveloped one central thesis.Nonetheless I found this to be a clearlywritten and very informative book.

Very clear. No indepth knowledge of genetics required.
I read this book while taking a correspondencecourse in physical anthropology from Univ. of Cal. at Berkeley. It is a textbook for a course onbiodiversity.

The book is about 280 pages and is subtitled genes, race and history. It has 14 chapters. The book's major theme is how culture and science haveinteracted around the issue of race.

Marks is both an anthropologist and a biologist, so the book presents a clear and thoroughexplanation of genetics in the context of how Western culture has chosen to interpret--and misinterpret--human differences.

It was the clearest, most enjoyable and thorough inquiry into the idea of race I have ever read. It greatly changed how I view human biodiversity. ... Read more

Product Description
Since the publication in 1859 of Darwin's Origin of Species, debate over the theory of evolution has been continuous and often impassioned. In recent years, opponents of "Darwin's dangerous idea" have mounted history's most sophisticated and generously funded attack, claiming that evolution is "a theory in crisis." Ironically, these claims are being made at a time when the explosion of information from genome projects has revealed the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution ever discovered. Much of the latest evidence of human evolution comes not from our genes, but from so-called "junk DNA," leftover relics of our evolutionary history that make up the vast majority of our DNA.

Relics of Eden explores this powerful DNA-based evidence of human evolution. The "relics" are the millions of functionally useless but scientifically informative remnants of our evolutionary ancestry trapped in the DNA of every person on the planet. For example, the analysis of the chimpanzee and Rhesus monkey genomes shows indisputable evidence of the human evolutionary relationship with other primates. Over 95 percent of our genome is identical with that of chimpanzees and we also have a good deal in common with other animal species.

Author Daniel J. Fairbanks also discusses what DNA analysis reveals about where humans originated. The diversity of DNA sequences repeatedly confirms the archeological evidence that humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa (the "Eden" of the title) and from there migrated through the Middle East and Asia to Europe, Australia, and the Americas.

In conclusion, Fairbanks confronts the supposed dichotomy between evolution and religion, arguing that both science and religion are complementary ways to seek truth. He appeals to the vast majority of Americans who hold religious convictions not to be fooled by the pseudoscience of Creationists and Intelligent Design advocates and to abandon the false dichotomy between religion and real science.

This concise, very readable presentation of recent genetic research is completely accessible to the nonspecialist and makes for enlightening and fascinating reading. ... Read more

As Plain as the Nose on Your Face!
Hey, that handsome nose on your face contains incontrovertible evidence aplenty of the FACT of evolution. Rhinoviruses evolve rapidly, incessantly, within a time frame that makes their evolution directly `observable' by humans. Next time you catch a cold, remember this: your own body contains such voluminous evidence of evolution that no supercomputer could process all of it. Scientist Daniel Fairbanks has selected a few tidbits of such evidence (yes, only a selection, but his choices are consistent with thousands of other bits he might have chosen) from his own field of knowledge and research, genetics. Specifically, he has reported discoveries of the Human Genome Project and of other comparative research into the structure and function of DNA, and he has focused chiefly on the comparison of human DNA with that of other primates, particularly chimpanzees. The first half of this book, Relics of Eden, explains current information about DNA -- incomplete knowledge, of course; all knowledge remains incomplete! -- with such elegant simplicity that any literate person can judge its reliability, even a person who couldn't tell a molecule of a protein from a crystal of quartz. Believe me, you don't need to understand the science to perceive the weight of the evidence! Even someone who can't sing a tune, play an instrument or read a note can respond emotionally and intelligently to a great piece of music. That's my analogy for the 'availability' of Professor Fairbanks's explanations. It's the generous simplicity of his explanations that earns my FIVE STAR rating of his book.

Let me say it again: evolution is a FACT. What Charles Darwin called "descent with modification" doesn't depend on fossils; it's been evident to clever people since the first farmers selected seeds and the first animal husbandmen bred sheep. Darwin drew heavily on examples from pigeon and dog breeding to illustrate "descent with modification". Darwin's leap from indisputable observed FACT to "theory" was his intuition that "descent with modification" over a sufficiently long period of time - deep time - could have been the process by which all life forms, including Humans, descended from a simple (single) ancestral organism. The recognition of 'deep time', of the vast antiquity of the planet, was already available in Darwin's lifetime, prominently in the works of the geologist Charles Lyell. Darwin theorized that the evolution of species was driven by two pressures: reproductive competition and successful adaptation to environmental constraints. But Darwin's speculations were merely the 'midge on the beak of the seagull sitting on the tip of the iceberg'. Current 'neo-Darwinian' theories of evolution represent the consensus of many thousands of scientists in diverse fields, not merely paleontology but also geology, biology, biochemistry, genetics, medicine, astrophysics, climatology, etc. I strongly suspect that even baseball statisticians are part of this consensus. I know that bassoonists are.

Fairbanks introduces the second half of his text with a quote from the great geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, from an article of 1973: "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution." That sentence does sum up matters rather elegantly, but it could be extended: nothing in any earth science makes sense except in the light of evolution. Nothing in human healtha and health care makes sense except in the light of evolution. Nothing in human psychology makes sense except in the light of evolution. "Evolution" is at the heart of the paradigm of contemporary understanding of everything.

However, the second half of "Relics of Eden" (excluding two appendices aimed at scientifically better-prepared readers, covering the same topics as the earlier chapters), Fairbanks departs from his `educational' agenda in order to address what he calls the "dichotomy" between religion and science -- "when Faith and Reason clash" -- which he deplores. A central argument, a familiar one, is that Science and Religion are separate spheres of insight; modern science, he says, can no more disprove the existence of "God" than pre-modern science could prove it. In fact, Science doesn't address that question, since it has no proper methodology for asking it. Thus those who believe in a transcendent power - a spiritual realm, a supernature - have no need to fear that their beliefs are incompatible with Science. Religion and Science can coexist, says Fairbanks, as shown by the fact that not all committed evolutionary scientists are atheists.

Now Prof. Fairbanks and this reader must part company. Oh, I'm willing enough to accept the platitude that Science and Religion are separate spheres of perception, and therefore not intrinsically incompatible. But frankly I find that conclusion utterly disingenuous and shallow. The sort of "God" being salvaged by this sophistry isn't the "God" in whom `WE' trust. Fairbanks exposes his own naivete by quoting a passage from Phillip Johnson, a prominent founder of the `Intelligent Design' movement:
""The story of salvation by the cross makes no sense against a background of evolutionary naturalism. The evolutionary story is a story of humanity's climb from animal beginnings to rationality, not a story of a fall from perfection.... It is a story about learning to rely entirely on human intelligence, not a story of the helplessness of that intelligence in the face of the inescapable fact of sin."" Whoa, Trigger! Despite Mr. Johnson's profound misstatement of the theory of evolution, which is NOT all about human progress to rationality (Ha!), he is absolutely correct in declaring that the fundamental Christian doctrines of original sin, Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, redemption, forgiveness, and a Last Judgment are all incompatible with Evolution, and not only Evolution but also astronomy, astrophysics, history, and anthropology. In other words, most "fundamentalists' -- Christian, Muslim, and Jewish -- are correct: Science is incompatible with THEIR religions! Rather few of them would be comforted by the notion that Science is ready to tolerate a diffuse belief of some wispy, unprovable Spiritual Entity, if only they are willing to abandon their Faith in a Merciful Father, a Personal Saviour, an eschatological comprehension of all history and the universe, and a Life After Death complete with rewards and eternal punishment.

Fairbanks also proposes that the fervid efforts to obstruct scientific education in America, and to `disinform' the general population about science in general and evolutionary science in particular, are political in origin and are supported by a small number of misguided ideologues. I have a feeling that he doesn't spend much time delving in the `roots' of American conservatism; he certainly hasn't discussed `religion and science' with my aunts and cousins in rural Minnesota.

But then, Fairbanks does a brilliant job of demolishing the idiotic arguments against Evolution, on the grounds of "irreducible complexity", of Michael Behe, and that's fun! That's worth the price of the book and the time needed to read it.

Just a note on the Kindle version
I agree with the numerous positive reviews already found here. I have studied a little genetics and molecular biology, but that was nearly 30 years ago, so I wanted an update on what has been learned and especially how it applies to evolution. I was quite pleased with the presentation, only wishing that it had been even longer. If you read the book, do not neglect the quite readable appendices.

As far as the Kindle version in particular, it is very good (a very few of the usual problems such as broken words) but the detailed diagrams are difficult to make out even when zoomed. The salient points of the diagrams are explained in the text anyway, so it should not be a significant barrier if you want to get the Kindle version, but if it's a toss-up, you may want the hard copy.

Clear and Concise Presentation of DNA Evidence for Evolution
You should read this book if you want a concise introduction to the DNA evidence for evolution.

Fairbanks provides examples of key genetic factors that show similarity with chimpanzees and other primates, and explains why we have 23 chromosomes as opposed to the 24 for the other great apes.The author also provides some general instruction in how genes work and the science behind the way scientists look for DNA evidence of evolution or determine similarities between species.Fairbank's arguments are clear and easy to understand, and a reader will come away with not only a greater appreciation, generally, of the DNA evidence for evolution, but will also acquire some specific knowledge of the important reasons why human DNA supports the theory of evolution.The book is only about 160 pages before the appendices start, so it is a manageable way to learn about a complex subject.

Great introduction to genetical evolution
Relics of eden is a great introduction to a very interesting, but increadibly complex, topic.Douglas Fairbanks quite simply gives you the facts and answers to evolution seen through the genes. The evolutionary facts laid out in this book is quite simple fantastic and mindblowing. From bogus genes, through our relationship with the great apes, to the history of the human genome, Relics of Eden guides us through amazing facts.

You have all heard that the proof of evolution is best proven through the genes. This is the first book I have read that presents the facts in an easy-to-understand manner.

How can genetical information increase?
How can we be related to bonobos and Chimpanzees when we have different number of chromosomes?
What is pseudo genes and how do they prove evolution?
These and many more questions are clearly answered.

Relics of Eden is a book that not only provide information. It gives you knowledge. Relics of Eden by Daniel Fairbanks is highly recommended.

You must read this book
This book and the work it represents should end the debate about common descent. The evidence of common descent is clearly shown in your chromosomes. No interpretation of fossils or other subjective or expert-dependent analysis is necessary.

You can argue about Darwin and evolution all you want to, but any one with a reasonable mind and who knows what is in our chromosomes cannot deny that the tree of life exists.

The book is well written and technically accurate.
A pleasure to read.

Product Description
It is not okay to call something a miracle without even trying to understand it. This is human developmental biology (human embryology, in terms of cells and molecules) for everyone curious enough to see it through, from the perspective of the business of becoming human as individuals and as species; making new humans; how it happens (cells do it, ALL of it); and common variations of the process.

It cannot be made quite simple and be kept quite true, but we will move as far toward simple as we can without losing touch with sound evidence. Variations from the normal version of the process, particularly malformations and twinning and chimerism, figure prominently in the story because there is no better way to learn about the usual than to study the unusual and see what differences in the endings these observable differences at the beginnings can make.

In this book, when technical terminology is the only way, or the best way, to say what needs to be said, it is defined and explained making the words a worthwhile part of what is here to be learned.

This book defines its own new field. We cannot claim to understand how anything [human] works [as human], with no effort at understanding the emergence of its form and functions. Old and new unanswered questions are waiting to be dug out from under old unquestioned answers about how becoming human unfolds. We will also address some popular and weighty, but deeply empty assertions about the circumstances and mechanisms of our beginnings and our ceaseless becoming. We will find fundamental questions from the humanities unanswerable except from biology. Human developmental biology is a foundational discipline within the humanities. ... Read more

18 Articles that represent the state of the art.
This is the sixth annual version of this book which publishes these peer reviewed articles that represent the state of the art as it exists today. This is a science that is changing so fast that in order to keep up it is necessary to go to this approach rather than a single author writing a book as will happen when it settles down.

This edition contains 18 articles written by a who's who of the field. They come from virtually every major research institution in the country and there are several entries from other countries.

I particularly enjoyed the look back over sixty years of medical genetics written by Alfred Knudson. In medical school during World War II, he was in at the beginning of the modern era of genetics research and specialized in cancer research.

The other articles are all of high caliber. Some of course, more interesting than others. But all are worth reading, you never know when you will pick up a useful idea. ... Read more
