Around 60,000 years ago, a mangenetically identical to uslived in Africa. Every person alive today is descended from him. How did this real-life Adam wind up as the father of us all? What happened to the descendants of other men who lived at the same time? And why, if modern humans share a single prehistoric ancestor, do we come in so many sizes, shapes, and races? Examining the hidden secrets of human evolution in our genetic code, Spencer Wells reveals how developments in the revolutionary science of population genetics have made it possible to create a family tree for the whole of humanity. Replete with marvelous anecdotes and remarkable information, from the truth about the real Adam and Eve to the way differing racial types emerged,The Journey of Manis an enthralling, epic tour through the history and development of early humankind.Wells, Spencer is the author of 'Journey of Man A Genetic Odyssey', published 2004 under ISBN 9780812971460 and ISBN 0812971469.
