National Book Critics Circle Award—2017 Nonfiction Finalist

“Nothing less than a tour de force—a heady amalgam of science, history, a little bit of anthropology and plenty of nuanced, captivating storytelling.”—The New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice

A National Geographic Best Book of 2017

In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species—births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away—until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has blown the lid off what we thought we knew. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story—from 100,000 years ago to the present.

PC Chip On His Shoulder?

2018年10月28日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

已确认购买

The author really seemed to go off the rails by the second half of the book. I couldn't finish it, hence the one star. The first half regarding DNA studies of early humans was interesting enough, but by the point where he seemed to be arguing that there's no such thing as racial differences or that selective breeding has no effect in human populations (evidently because: we are the world, we are the children, etc.), I had to put it down. The author evidently has some kind of chip on his shoulder because of his half-Indian British background that pushes him to see things through a secular PC lens. Disappointing.

Anti-creationist shares his opinions and provides an update of the Human Genome Project

2018年8月3日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

已确认购买

This was an interesting read. It was a little disappointing that genes really are not that informative for a single person but are best described through populations and associated population statistics. The author has a real problem with Christianity and creationists, so much so, he takes every opportunity to share his opinion of them and their intellectual abilities. It was distracting.

A fascinating look at the far-ranging impact of the Human Genome Project

2017年12月22日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

已确认购买

While many of the points in negative reviews of this book are well taken, I found the author's approach to the subject to be fascinating. I find the book poorly titled, as it covers much more ground than just the history of our species. The author rightly debunks much of the popular media hype about the impact of genomics in medicine and genealogy, yet he reveals many lesser known and fascinating applications of modern genomics in fields such as human ancestry, revisiting the nature vs nurture question, the geographical migration of Homo sapiens, and their interbreeding with other hominids along the way. Who knew that gene sequencing could tell us much more about human dispersion than archeology? The book becomes a bit Brit-centric in some places (but after all the author is from Great Britain) and some of the chapters could do with some editing, but overall I found this book to be surprising in its broad content and the many interesting revelations of the impact of genomics on what we are finding out about ourselves now, as well as what will be forthcoming in the future.

Received for Christmas, an instant favorite. One of the most interesting books I've ever read.

My name is Chloe, Ben is my father, and he bought me this book for Christmas. I've always been interested in genetics and heritage. In fact, my mother bought me an Ancestry DNA kit for Christmas, fitting for this theme. In college I have studied anthropology, archaeology, and biology, so I already have some background about what this book is about, but there was so, so much more for me to learn. From the beginning of the book I was enthralled. It is interesting - to say the least- as well as well written, entertaining, informative, and so incredibly funny. I can not stress how refreshing it is to read a history/science book that is funny. So often academic books are stuffy and boring, but this one is probably my favorite. Rutherford feels like someone you know. He shares his life and his experiences about his family in such a way so you don't feel like "okay, this guy is talking about himself too much," but in a way that feels so relatable. If you like anthropology or biology or are just curious to read about a little bit of history, read this book. Absolutely wonderful read, have already recommended it to multiple other people.
