Why study human evolutionary genetics? -- Structure, function and inheritance of the human genome -- The diversity of the human genome -- Discovering and assaying genome diversity -- Processes shaping diversity -- Making inferences from diversity -- Humans as apes -- Origins of modern humans -- The distribution of diversity : out of Africa and into Asia, Australia and Europe -- Agricultural expansions -- Into new found lands -- What happens when populations meet? -- Understanding the past and future of phenotypic variation -- Health implications of our evolutionary heritage -- Identity and identification
