斯賓塞·韋爾斯,美國遺傳學傢,現年34歲。哈佛大學博士、斯坦福大學博士後。曾在世界基因多樣性研究計劃主要發起人、人類學研究領域泰鬥路卡·卡瓦利-斯福紮門下工作。後來他進入英國牛津大學的人類跗學研究中心。作為一名齣色的科學傢兼作傢、電影製片人、斯賓塞·韋爾斯以多種形式生動地展現瞭“人類的旅程”。
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.
一口气看完了这本书。 其实我已经看过那个发现频道的节目,总的来说,文章的主题基本上就是那个写序所说的概括了。 作者是个科学家,所以写的比较罗嗦,而且翻译一般,跟教科书一样,不是非常生动,尤其是后部,几乎是跳着读的。 不过他的结论还是很有启示的,不过这要读者...
評分刚拿到书,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...

評分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”,...
評分差不多一口气读完了这本科普书。解答了我许多的疑惑,让我对人类早期的迁徙有了一个大致的了解。如此艰深的学问被作者清晰地说出,让人不禁感佩其水平与功力。作者本行是研究基因的,而他对考古学、人类学、地理学、气候学、语言学以及历史学的了解,说明了西方学者的渊博。想...
