Abstract: Aborda o contexto de criação do Museu da Genética, em 2011 no Departamento de Genética na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, em Porto Alegre, e apresenta sua estrutura e conteúdo. Argumenta-se que os materiais disponibilizados no Museu da Genética constituem uma rica fonte para pesquisas sobre a história da genética no Brasil (e da genética de populações humanas em particular) a partir da segunda metade do século XX, tema ainda pouco investigado, apesar da proeminência dessa área do conhecimento no Bra… Show more

“…The cluster of human geneticists at that institution, among them James Neel and William J. Schull, and the anthropologists, James Spuhler and Frank Livingstone, formed a research powerhouse, with strong relationships established across departmental boundaries. International scholars, such as Francisco Salzano from Brazil, and Derek Roberts from England were postdoctoral scholars in the human genetics department, and on returning home, further infused anthropology with genetics, and vice versa (Crawford, ; Souza, Dornelles, Coimbra, & Santos, ). Many human geneticists and anthropological geneticists of the next generation were trained at this institution (Lasker, ; Little & Sussman, ; Vitzthum, Fix, & Livingstone, ; Weiss, ).…”

“…Ao final da década de 1950 e início de 1960, com a criação da Sociedade Brasileira de Genética (SBG) estimula-se a transferência dos conhecimentos de genética de drosófilas para estudos com genética humana. Inicia-se desta forma a constituição de departamentos de genética médica nas universidades, o que promove o início do ensino na área (Souza et al, 2013) e posteriormente nas escolas de Ensino Médio (Brasil, 2000).…”

“…Through the 1960s and 1970s, many took doctoral or postdoctoral training either with Neel at the University of Michigan or with Morton at the University of Hawai‘i. Later they contributed to building the various graduate programs that make up the present‐day community of Brazilian geneticists (see Salzano , 2011; Souza et al ; Souza and Santos 2014). They also became participants in an international network of scientific research on human populations that took form in the 1960s and that still plays a critical role in biological anthropology research today.…”

“…To a great extent, the emergence of population genetics in Brazil after World War II is associated with the extended visits to Brazil at various periods in the 1940s and 1950s of the Russian‐American geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, of Columbia University, through a program financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. Young researchers, trained through the Brazil‐Columbia program in Drosophila genetics, which was basic to the Dobzhansky interchange, later would become involved in human genetics, some of them establishing research partnerships with Morton and Neel (see also Glick ; Pavan and da Cunha 2003; Salzano , ; Salzano and Freire‐Maia ; Souza et al ; Souza and Santos 2014).…”
