Book Review: Elise K. Burton, Genetic Crossroads—The Middle East and the Science of Human Heredity, Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 2021.

Abstract

Genetic Crossroads—The Middle East and the Science of Human Heredity is of interest to anyone doing research in genetics, race and nation, colonial history, and medical anthropology. Elise Burton’s work includes useful additional material, such as a list of abbreviations, a note on transliteration, acknowledgements, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. This all complements three separate but connected parts of her arguments.
