Neanderthal Man pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
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.
实在是太精彩了,有爱情有友情有争分夺秒也有苦苦找寻却停滞不前,把复杂的问题讲明白需要真正的学识,把一点一滴脚踏实地的日常研究讲有趣需要一颗赤子之心,2019年的开篇就看到这样一本从各个维度都给人提升的书真是幸福的事情,好莱坞为啥还不把它拍成电影,简直就是科学界的寻宝大片!
评分补标。大胆的自传,看过之后再次觉得天才的人生总会有些无需解释的奇葩点……本科时上顾博的进化课最早听到尼人基因组测序的故事,而且印象挺深那篇文章出人意料地发在了Cell上,时隔多年从这本书里重温细节。另外当时课上还提到张昀老师从恐龙蛋里克隆到基因片段,投稿被拒的故事,当时只听一面之辞觉得很不公平很可惜,读完本书的某章节也有了更客观的认识。

076|101,《尼安德特人》。 尹哥书单推荐之一,如对生命科学有兴趣可关注公众号“尹哥聊基因”。 演化丛书。让我想起前段时间腾讯的WE大会,探索过去与探索未来的意义。探索过去是让我们认识自己,突破知识的边际;探索未来是让我们突破自己,认识更多更深的过去。 本书讲述笔...
评分什么是尼安德特人?为什么要研究尼安德特人? 1856年,距离达尔文出版《物种起源》还有三年的时间,德国城市杜塞尔多夫以东的尼安德特河谷中,工人在清理采石场的一个小山洞的时候,发现了一个头盖骨和一些骨头。当时的工人们也没在意,他们以为这是熊的骨头。但这种骨头却越来...
