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.

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...

本人生物专业，因此对“非洲起源说”“线粒体夏娃”之类也算颇有耳闻。不过其中的具体情况，依然知之甚少。斯宾塞的这本《人类前史》可说是为我提供了这方面的一次生动叙述。全书围绕一个问题展开“我们从哪里来？”当然，时至今日，多数人已经接受了人是从猿进化而来的观念...

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”，...

推荐阅读，作为一本速读书。之前在看《枪炮，钢铁和细菌》的时候注意到了这本书，说起来也有好几个月了。这两本书都是从人类的角度去阐释，不管怎样，这种尝试本身也是难得的，向作者致敬。本书一开始给出了一个很后怕的事实：世界上的人有很多，人类历史也有好几万年了，但是...
