Hilliard was living in Japan when she began experiencing joint pain. Her doctor diagnosed osteoarthritisa common ailment for someone her age. But her bloodwork showed something else: Hilliard, who had never had kidney problems, appeared to be suffering from renal failure. When she returned to Texas, however, a new round of tests showed that her kidneys were healthy. Unlike the Japanese doctor, her American primary care provider had checked a box on her lab report for African American. As a scholar of scientific racism, Hilliard was perplexed. Why should race, which experts agree has no biological basis, matter for getting accurate test results?</p><p><em>Ancestral Genomics</em> is the result of Hilliards decade-long quest to solve this puzzle. In a masterful synthesis of evolutionary history, population genetics, and public health research, she addresses the usefulness of race as a heuristic in genomic medicine. Built from European genetic data, the Human Genome Project and other databases have proven inadequate for identifying disease-causing gene variants in patients of African descent. Such databases, Hilliard argues, overlook crucial information about the environments to which their ancestors bodies adapted prior to the transatlantic slave trade. Hilliard shows how, by analyzing ecological niche populations, a classification model that combines family and ecological histories with genetic information, our increasingly advanced genomic technologies, including personalized medicine, can serve African Americans and other people of color, while avoiding racial essentialism.</p><p>Forcefully argued and morally urgent, <em>Ancestral Genomics</em> is a clarion call for the US medical community to embrace our multigenomic society.</p>...4576284Ancestral Genomics523638https://www.gandhi.com.mx/ancestral-genomics-9780674296770/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4384642/image.jpg?v=638884407110300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780674296770_W3siaWQiOiJhZmM3OWU3OC03YjJmLTRkY2UtOWIwOC05N2EwYjIwMGI2YjEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYzOCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjExNSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo1MjMsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA3LTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780674296770_<p><strong>A leading evolutionary historian offers a radical solution to racial health disparities in the United States.</strong></p><p>Constance B.
