This article is about population. My aim is to answer the question, what is population? Instead of defining it myself or asking geneticists what it is, I want to trace population in genetic practices and to observe how it is embodied in them. Toward this end, I analyze a forensic case. My analysis results in two arguments: first, that geneticists cannot know the individual without a population; second, that in genetic practices neither the individual nor the population is inherently "biological"--both are technologically assisted categories
