The Human Gene Pool is in JeopardyGenomes and the Gene Pool is an up-to-date overview of the science of human genetics with an emphasis on how genetics affects the lives of individuals and the future of our species.Part I provides a basic introduction to human genetics with a description of how genetics is improving healthcare.Part II covers reproductive planning, evolution of human intelligence, and recent changes to the forces that shaped our evolution.The gene pool problem is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Each baby that is born has about 1,000 mutations, and many more of these are deleterious than advantageous. Up until about 1800, brutal natural selection kept the deleterious mutations in check. But since 1800 advances in human societies have substantially relaxed natural selection such that deleterious mutations are now accumulating in our genomes.This is the gene pool problem. Unless this problem is solved, human societies will inevitably decline.

    Subir Ranjan Kundu
    Exploring Genome’s Junkyard: In the Labyrinth of Evolution narrates the progress of biological evolution, beginning with the conceptual introspection of gene and continuing with the contemporary understanding of the structural and function aspects of the human genome. Recent advances in human genome research have led scientists to the term 'biological dark matter,' which refers...
  • European Hair, Eye, and Skin Color
    Peter Frost
    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

    Mitochondrial Eve and Y-Chromosomal Adam discusses theoretical ideas, interpretations, and paleontological evidence to narrate the origin and evolutionary story of Sapiens through the transitional stages of archaic human species involved in the evolutionary pilgrimage, from the great apes and to modern humans. Author Subir Ranjan Kundu investigates the DNA footprints of primate...
  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
