Part Two: (Para. 2) The contribution of the book: the creation of the first genetic map of the world that traced the routes of early human’s migration to find the closest thing we have to a global family tree. Part Three: (Para. 3-4) The creative results came from the hard work over the years. Part Four: (Para. 5-9) Four major contributions of the first genetic map pf the world. Part Five: (Para. 10) Conclusions: Apart from scientific value of the research, the social significance is to weaken conventional notions of race that cause racial prejudice.
