Zusammenfassung:"The edited collection brings together social and biological anthropology scholars, biologists, and geneticists to examine the interface between Genetic Admixture, Identity and Health, directly contributing to an emerging field of 'bio-cultural anthropology.' It focuses on the neglected region of South America with scientific and social science contributions from Brazil, Columbia, Argentina, and Uruguay and commentaries from leading experts in the UK and the United States. As such the collection contributes to the urgent task of nurturing and advancing a cross disciplinary community that can address and examine a topical set of theoretical issues, brought about by the rapidly changing field of genetic science.
