e genome and public choices: new questions for Anthropology
Summary- Th e advances in genomic research are deeply changing many aspects of biological research. In fact, they have altered the relationships between nature and body, chance and choice, necessity, freedom and possibility.

In fact, they have altered the relationships between nature and body, chance and choice, necessity, freedom and possibility.

An excellent exemplifi cation and a case of particular interest to Anthropologists is provided by the issues surrounding the mass genetic screening in Iceland. Th is transformations require a model of cultural growth, not an uncritical neo-positivism, but an eff ort to defi ne analytical categories capable of absorbing and interpreting the directions impressed by recent scientifi c advances on the process of civilization.
