Relethford\u003c\/b\u003e (Distinguished Teaching Professor) is a biological anthropologist who received his Ph.D. in anthropology in 1980 from the State University of New York at Albany. Dr. Relethford's major interests are in the fields of anthropological genetics, human variation, and modern human origins. Much of his research has focused on the reconstruction of history from patterns of modern biological variation. His past work has also included studies of migration, quantitative genetics, child growth, epidemiology, and aging. His current work focuses on two topics, the evolutionary history of Irish populations and the origin of modern humans.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50324754006290,"sku":"9780470464670","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5e52dc57-f327-4cd6-ad97-1214a8bb9577.jpg?v=1727672543","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/human-population-genetics-9780470464670","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
