Troubling traces of biocolonialism undermine an otherwise eloquent synthesis of ancient genome research In Who We Are and How We Got Here, David Reich gracefully describes how recent advances in genomics have enabled the study of ancient genomes and how this, in turn, has significantly affected the study of the evolutionary and demographic history of our species. Although scientifically solid and comprehensive, the book overlooks some of the most profound issues inherent in this type of work, specifically with regard to the practices surrounding the collection and processing of human DNA samples.

明智地运用新的基因组工具

令人不安的生物殖民主义痕迹破坏了古代基因组研究的雄辩综合体在我们是谁以及我们如何到达这里，大卫赖希优雅地描述了基因组学的最新进展如何使古代基因组的研究成为可能，以及这反过来又如何显着影响了研究我们物种的进化和人口历史。虽然在科学上扎实和全面，但本书忽略了这类工作中固有的一些最深刻的问题，特别是关于人类 DNA 样本收集和处理的实践。
