"Cavalli-Sforza, Luigi Luca (1922)  
 
Italian geneticist  
Cavalli-Sforza, who was born in Genoa, Italy, was educated at the University
of Pavia where he gained his MD in 1944. After working on bacterial genetics
at Cambridge (1948-50) and Milan (1950-57) he has held chairs in genetics at
Parma (1958-62) and Pavia (1962-70). In 1970 he was appointed professor of
genetics at the University of Stanford, California, a position he held until
his retirement in 1992.

Cavalli-Sforza has specialized mainly in the genetics of human populations,
producing with Walter Bodmer a comprehensive survey of the subject in their
Genetics, Evolution and Man (1976).

He has also done much to show how genetic data from present human racial
groups could be used to reconstruct their past separations. This
reconstruction, based on the analysis of 58 genes, yields a bifurcated
evolutionary tree with Caucasian and African races in one branch and
Orientals, Oceanians, and Amerinds in the other. The main division appeared,
according to Cavalli-Sforza, some 35-40,000 years ago."
