Around 60,000 years ago, a man - identical to us in all important respects - lived in Africa. Every person alive today is descended from him. How did this real-life Adam wind up father of us all? What happened to the descendants of other men who lived at the same time? And why, if modern humans share a single prehistoric ancestor, do we come in so many sizes, shapes, and races? Showing how the secrets about our ancestors are hidden in our genetic code, Spencer Wells reveals how developments in the cutting-edge science of population genetics have made it possible to create a family tree for the whole of humanity. We now know not only where our ancestors lived but who they fought, loved, and influenced. Informed by this new science, "The Journey of Man" is replete with astonishing information. Wells tells us that we can trace our origins back to a single Adam and Eve, but that Eve came first by some 80,000 years. We hear how the male Y-chromosome has been used to trace the spread of humanity from Africa into Eurasia, why differing racial types emerged when mountain ranges split population groups, and that the San Bushmen of the Kalahari have some of the oldest genetic markers in the world. We learn, finally with absolute certainty, that Neanderthals are not our ancestors and that the entire genetic diversity of Native Americans can be accounted for by just ten individuals. It is an enthralling, epic tour through the history and development of early humankind - as well as an accessible look at the analysis of human genetics that is giving us definitive answers to questions we have asked for centuries, questions now more compelling than ever.

刚拿到书,略翻了一下,感觉不大好。 第一,作者并不是讲故事的高手。对我来说,条理不是很清楚,有些乱。 第二,翻译得不大好。译者明显很喜欢装逼,书名竟然套用“出埃及记”而英文书名里没有一个类似Exodus的词,只有一个odyssey,还不如翻成基因的奥德赛来得直白!最让人不...

自打人类对我们从哪里来产生困惑后,哲学家、艺术家、历史学家、科学家都力图给出解释。聚焦于个体,父辈们倘能找到家谱,至多追溯到信史以降。再往前呢?达尔文说,人类起源于非洲。在非洲或非洲以外发现的早期人类遗址,也不断支持或推翻这种说法,它们可以被证明“很早”,...
