Description
A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: What does it mean to be human?
What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009. From Pbo, we learn how Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our hominin relatives and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Drawing on genetic and fossil clues, Pbo explores what is known about the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neanderthals and describes the fierce debate surrounding the nature of the two species’ interactions.
A riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, Neanderthal Man offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are.

Spell-binding; a great popularization of science
Very impressive book. Incidentally, also a great inside-look at how the PhD process can work well, especially in the hard sciences... The Supervisor oversees many situations where the students branch out into subsidiary channels of the larger program. I was riveted by the intense dedication to the task at hand... finding out whether, and to what extent, there might have been (must have been!) some interaction between Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens, so that, to this very day, our present DNA contains some residue of Neanderthal DNA. Excellent book, brilliant studies, and well-worded. A focused delivery and intentionality. Was never bored, not even for a moment.
