While population and biomedical geneticists have been reveal ing a wealth of remarkable data regarding the origins of human populations \, the nature of their historical successes and the role of genetics in he alth\, in their preoccupations they have largely ignored old and new popul ar misconceptions regarding the significance of this information for every day multicultural life here in the US and elsewhere. We will bring this po werful and sometimes unnerving new information to heel by carefully assess ing the current state of affairs. Revelatory topics include how much indiv iduals differ and how much groups differ genetically\, human natural selec tion in action\, a genetic history of the Jewish diaspora\, how much does genetics determine human health and behavior\, and finally we answer ̶ 0\;Can genetics be the last word?”\;
