À propos de cet audio

A National Geographic Best Book of the Year

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 completely upended what we thought we knew about ourselves. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This was one of the most entertaining listens I have had so far. The author's ability to relate biological science to so many well known references was hilarious. I actually laughed out loud at the mention of ROUS's. I have always loved science and feel this book was too short. Highly recommend.

An entertaining lesson that ended too soon

..... and the author has that gift. It’s brilliant and will leave you wanting more on the topic as you reach the last paragraph.

Explaining science in a fun, simple way is a gift

Adam Rutherford here in this book has managed to bring history, genetics and overall science of existence together to form a comprehensive treatise for every reader out there irrespective of their educational backgrounds. Moreover, the rational assault brought about on pseudoscience and incorrect interpretation of facts is dealt with clinical precision . In the times of alternative facts it is refreshing to see such clean demonstration of complete reliance on scientific knowledge.

A foray onto pseudoscience

A concise and easy to understand history of humanity in the genetic and historical sense!

Absolutely brilliant

This is a very interesting book that provides an easily understandable explanation of how genes do and do not impact our lives; how we evolve and how we do not evolve; how we've made mistaken assumptions and how we continue to learn and apply knowledge about our natures as a result of that knowledge.

I highly recommend it.
