評分Technology, techniques, organizedness and attention to detail change the world.
評分屌爆的Paabo!在Irvine的Barnes noble 偶得,售書的大叔對人類基因組裏的尼安德特片段嘖嘖稱奇,真牛掰,讀完瞭就五體投地瞭,立下研究人類智力起源的誌嚮!今年十月份去法國開會見見大牛們!
評分一本真誠的科研小傳,Paabo教授真可愛啊,熱情執著嚴謹,對於零星散落於職業生涯敘事中的個人生活片段毫不忸怩作態
評分前沿科學傢和學科開創者(古人類遺傳學)自述做科學的過程。寫得真好,充滿瞭熱情、推理、科學方法以及對細節的注重和堅持的精神,還有形形色色的相關人物並順帶八卦瞭些自己的情史。學生時代就自費研究埃及木乃伊,這是怎樣一種探索精神。強烈推薦給所有對分子遺傳學或/和古人類學感興趣的人;另外,即便對這些學科興趣不大,這本書也很好的展示瞭科學究竟是怎麼做的,結論是怎麼做齣的等。
Svante Pääbo is the founder of the field of ancient DNA. The director of the department of genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Pääbo has been featured in the New York Times, Newsweek, National Geographic, and The Economist, as well as on NPR, PBS, and BBC. In 2009 Time named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Pääbo lives in Leipzig, Germany.
What can we learn from the genomes of our closest evolutionary relatives?
Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pääbo's mission to answer this question, and recounts his ultimately successful efforts to genetically define what makes us different from our Neanderthal cousins. Beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010, Neanderthal Man describes the events, intrigues, failures, and triumphs of these scientifically rich years through the lens of the pioneer and inventor of the field of ancient DNA.
We learn that Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our hominin relatives and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Drawing on genetic and fossil clues, Pääbo explores what is known about the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neanderthals and describes the fierce debate surrounding the nature of the two species' interactions. His findings have not only redrawn our family tree, but recast the fundamentals of human history—the biological beginnings of fully modern Homo sapiens, the direct ancestors of all people alive today.
A riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, Neanderthal Man offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are.
发出来随缘吧,鬼知道。 这本书比起“科普作品”更多是作者自传和工作札记,缺少了这些八卦很是逊色。这让我想起如果Criag Packer的Lions in the Balance如果到国内出版会变成什么糟糕的样子(当然,我并不认为这本书会在国内出版) 帕波的生活过得有声有色,吃个饭爬个山出个...
評分 評分先說一下,這本書與其說是講述尼安德塔人的點滴,不如說是一份研究報告或者作者帕波自己的工作回憶錄吧。他把自己學術生涯中對於怎麼取得尼安德塔人的基因的經過說了個明白,而讀者則能從中了解一些關於這項研究的意義。 對於非理科出身的,有時候還真的覺得基因的取得跟電影...
