The Overlooked Science of Genealogical Ancestry

S. Joshua Swamidass (MD, PhD) is a physician, scientist, and Assistant Professor of Laboratory and Genomic Medicine at Washington University in Saint Louis. He leads a computational biology group that studies information at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and medicine (http://swami.wustl.edu/). He also is a speaker for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and Veritas Forums. Recently, he served as a Science Advisor for AAAS Science for Seminaries, and now blogs at Peaceful Science (http:// peacefulscience.org/). The Overlooked Science of Genealogical Ancestry S.
