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.

这本书问题不少,一个是基础知识讲的不够全面,特别是对分子生物学的那几段,简直是前言不答后语;第二是逻辑推理不够清晰,推算年代的那一段,本来三两句话就能搞定的,非罗嗦半天。但即使是这样,这本书还是值得一看的。 对比现代文明和人类前几万年的历程,可以看出生物基因...
評分------读《人类前史》(斯宾赛•韦尔斯/著) 1.遗传决定了你的命运 这是一本有关遗传学,或者称分子生物学的著作。以人的基因的发展变化,来推测人类的祖先出生在哪里?然后,是如何播撒到世界各地的? 小时候,父母带我到亲戚、朋友家,大凡头一回见到我的大人会微笑着问...
評分1,线粒体是20亿年前被人类细胞吞噬的细菌,但是现在成了人类细胞的重要动力源。 3,中国的南方人和北方人具有基因上的差异。是北方迁移者和南方迁移者的后代。南方人可能先到一步。 4,一些名词在各种语言中发音相似比如mama,papa,其实背后的原因是他们有共同的祖先。 5,世...
評分在大巴黎排队换工签的时候,收尾了《人类前史--出非洲记》,一部颇有意思的人类学大作,厘清了我好多关于人类学尤其是人类起源的困惑,深入浅出,文风活泼。 我们这一支人带着“亚当”和比他老十几万年的“夏娃”的基因,从非洲出发,一路东西南北转战,作为人族最适应环境的...
