The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey - Tapa blanda

THE JOURNEY OF MAN tells the greatest story of all; where we came from and how we got there. Through definitive genetic data and original research, Wells uncovers the history of our species and reveals that we can be traced back to a single man living in Africa over 60,000 years ago. Covering thousands of years, and touching all of us, this is the epic story of the human race. The book's narrative travels the length and breadth of the globe, starting in Africa with the ascendance of the first hominids, it traces how the human population spread and diversified, migrating from one continent to another.The key evidence which informs this research is not uncovered in the form of bones and stones, but rather as signals from the human genome

Dr Spencer Wells is a UK-based geneticist, with visiting scientific appointments at Oxford University and Harvard School of Public Health.
