In this fascinating book Spencer Wells shows how the truth about our ancestors is hidden in our genetic code, and reveals how developments in the cutting-edge science of population genetics has made it possible not just to discover where our ancestors lived (and who they fought, loved, learned from and influenced) but to create a family tree for the whole of humanity.
Informed by this new science, 'The Journey Of Man' is packed with astonishing information: that there was a real Adam and Eve - but that Eve came first by some 90,000 years.
It is an enthralling, epic tour through the history and development of early humankind - relying not on archaeological or historical speculation but on analysis of human genetics to provide definitive answers to questions we have asked for centuries. Questions, which, in an age obsessed by our biological inheritance, are more compelling than ever.
