Аннотация: Contents: Introduction: "As deep as life itself" -- Birthmarks become landmarks : "little worlds in themselves" -- Genealogies, relationships, and histories -- Biobanking : medical records and genetic databases -- For whom the cell tolls : bioethics -- Biovalue : appropriating genomes -- Human variation -- Conclusion.?? ??Summary: The growth of 'new genetics' has dramatically increased our understanding of health, diseases and the body. Anthropologists argue that these scientific advances have also had far-reaching social and cultural implications, radically changing our self-understanding and our perception of what it means to be human; that we have become 'biomedicalized', fragmented and commodified - thus redefining our notions of citizenship, social relations, family and identity. This book shows how anthropology can contribute to and challenge the ways we have come to understand genetic issues. Exploring a range of issues and case studies in genetic research, it provides an ethnographic 'reality-check', arguing that we must look beyond the 'gene-centrism' of genetic codes, family trees and insular populations, to explore their wider cultural, ethical and philosophical implications. Merging natural and social issues with the real world of medical science, this book will be welcomed by anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, biology, health and medicine.?? ??
