| Abstract: |
This first part of this essay explores the relationship of molecular studies to the field of anthropology, setting out the history and present status of that relationship and focusing on two issues in contemporary molecular anthropology. In the second part, I set out a program for a molecular anthropology that is both molecular and anthropology, centering on the application of genetic data to primate, including human, populations, and its intersection with the issues and approaches of traditional anthropology.
