Title: A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived Pdf The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes
“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.
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.A good read for anyone who ever lived with a high-school or early college understanding of genetics. Whether or not it is a genuinely fun or captivating book, A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived demystifies many of the popular misconceptions surrounding the genetics and natural history of humans, and is a good read for anyone wanting to understand the limitations of using DNA to describe who we are and how we came to be. A recurring theme of the book is the tendency of parties to communicate oversimplified or sensational interpretations of genetic research for the purposes of selling newspapers, personalized genetic tests, or even as part of an elaborate legal defense. Rutherford picks apart the often weak scientific evidence supporting such claims, and in doing so provides much of the background and strategy one would need to critically examine a purported ‘scientific breakthrough’ resulting from genetic research. There are also some fun parts sprinkled in about genetics as it relates to human history and prehistory, but readers looking for a lot of, or a highly detailed description of this information will probably be disappointed.PC Chip On His Shoulder? 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.
