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.

所以,我们真的不是电影、书本或博物馆中最常见的原始人形象尼安德特人的后代,北京人也真的不是北京猿人的后代,世界各大洲、各个地方的人们都来自一个共同的祖先,他是生活在6万年前非洲的某个男人。我们来自非洲! 10年前的老书了,开卷之前颇有犹豫。因为之前看过相关的书...
評分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...

評分這本書讀到最後時,飛機正在蘇黎世上空降落。窗外群山間散落著村莊,高峽的湖水粼粼泛光,阿爾卑斯山雄立在天盡頭,夕陽撒在白雪峰上發出金色的光。 我用上帝視角俯視這一切,想像1萬年前遠處的雪山曾是不可跨越的天塹,人類的祖先在每一座山間駐扎,一代代艱苦的繁衍推進生存...
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...
