The genealogical model has a long-standing history in Western
thought. The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which
assumptions about the genealogical model-in particular, ideas
concerning sequence, essence, and transmission-structure other
modes of practice and knowledge-making in domains well beyond what
is normally labeled "kinship." The detailed ethnographic work and
analysis included in this text explores how these assumptions have
been built into our understandings of race, personhood, ethnicity,
property relations, and the relationship between human beings and
non-human species. The authors explore the influences of the
genealogical model of kinship in wider social theory and examine
anthropology's ability to provide a unique framework capable of
bridging the "social" and "natural" sciences. In doing so, this
volume brings fresh new perspectives to bear on contemporary
theories concerning biotechnology and its effect upon social life.
