Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications embraces the broadening of human genetics from an academic and medical discipline to an informational science that can be highly personal, yet have societal impact. By coming to know genetic backgrounds, people can control their environments in more healthy ways. Genetic knowledge is, therefore, both informative and empowering.
