GENES

1 . One of the most challenging questions that have been left unanswered to this date is that regarding human evolution and geography . From the sociological point of view , it has long been known that specific populations can be differentiated from each other based on their religious backgrounds . On the other hand , forensic science employs language in grouping human population . In the field of human genetics there is currently credible information that facilitates the understanding of how the entire human population evolved through time The recent completion of the Human Genome

Project resulted in the generation of the actual deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA ) sequence of a human cell , with the hope that every disease could be associated to a particular gene in the sequence . Alongside this discovery , other genetic features have been uncovered in the DNA sequence , including small nucleotide polymorphisms which serve as signatures to specific biological phenomenon

In Olson 's chapter entitled God 's people : A genetic history of the Jews ' the evolution of this population was described in terms of selection , environmental factors , adaptation and migration (Olson 107 The chapter supported this with reports generated from haplotype reconstruction and tracing of Aaron 's Y chromosome . Through DNA sequencing analyses , it is now possible to reconstruct the origins and migrations of specific populations based on the presence or absence of genetic markers in the human genome sequence . The most interesting part of the chapter is that genetic changes in the Samaritan population can be correlated to their historical...
