Produktinformationen zu „Who We Are and How We Got Here “
Huge advances in our ability to sequence ancient DNA have revolutionised what we know about the earliest human populations. David Reich explains the science, and tells the emerging story of our complex and often surprising ancestry - the extraordinary ancient migrations and mixtures of populations that have made us who we are.
Klappentext zu „Who We Are and How We Got Here “
As a new picture of human history and ancestry emerges from the revolution in the study of ancient DNA, lab leader David Reich prises apart the evidence for ancient migrations, ghosts of long-lost populations and more by comparing the genomes of ancient modern humans, archaic humans and present day populations.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Who We Are and How We Got Here “
