À propos de cet audio
What happened to the ancient Egyptians? When their civilization fell, did the Egyptian people disappear? Or do their descendants exist to this day? What about the ancient Persians? Romans? Mayans?
For years, the answers to these questions have been hidden. But no more. Nathaniel T. Jeanson, a Harvard graduate with a PhD in cell and developmental biology, has discovered a DNA-based, generation by generation family tree for global humanity. This tree uncovers the origin and fate of these ancient peoples—and connects them to peoples alive today.
The fascinating research presented in Traced has additional far-reaching consequences for numerous contemporary debates:
- Race: Traced shows that the races have changed multiple times in human history. Thus, “White”, “Black”, “Asian” and other common descriptors lose their meaning in light of modern genetics.
- Prehistory: Traced reveals that today’s Native Americans were not the first but replaced earlier inhabitants whose genealogical origins remain unknown.
- History and origin of minority groups: The genetics in Traced restores the indigenous histories to many obscure people groups and connects them back to specific ancestors in Genesis 10.
- The age of the Earth: Traced represents one of the strongest arguments in print for the recent origin of humanity.
- Biblical authority: Historically, young-Earth creationists have sought to defend biblical authority from scientific attacks; Traced puts biblical authority on offense.
Dive into the wild and emerging field of historical genetics and see how these recent discoveries on the fate of ancient civilizations end up uncovering the story of the whole world. Traced: Human DNA’s Big Surprise will inspire, not only budding historians, archaeologists, geneticists, linguists, and anthropologists, but anyone interested the marvelous and messy story of humankind.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Any attempt trying to put science and religion in one pot should be examined carefully since the author's motivation to write such a book is usually neither scientific nor religious but noxious politics...

I looked for the author's current academic affiliation. Some university or college, and there was surprisingly nothing. Since the available bibliography cited journal articles in key scientific journals, I found no apparent PebMed journal articals where the author was a priniciple, first, or lead author, so I conclude that he had a lesser role in the research, except one. I could not clearly see what was his PhD thesis, but I suspect it was the article published in Blood (Vitamin D receptor deletion leads to increased hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells residing in the spleen; 2014) There is no clear leap from training Vitamin D research/molecular control of biochemical functions in stem cells to the type of genetic work being presented in this book. The author could be more forthright by presenting better details about his qualifications fin this field, other than a PhD from Harvard.
Further investigation found a link to creationist science, and I fear that "science" is being contorded to promote religious ideology. Force a square peg in a round hole for those who don't know the difference between a square and a circle? In theory, scientific reasoning could be used to express a case, and then conjecture that the scientific facts allign with the bible, but it is not valid to build a scientific argument using the bible as fact, given what is scientifically known about the bible. It is fine to have personal beliefs, but not to use personal beliefs to distort the truth.
Unfortunately, given ambiguiies, this book may not be worth the reader's time. The premise is not clearly stated at the beginning and the reader may be lead down a rabbit hole, after hours of listening and relistening, as I was. Perhaps I have misunderstood the context. What do other readers with a scientific background think about this book?
