About this product

Product Information

In 1994 Bryan Sykes was called in as an expert to examine the frozen remains of a man trapped in glacial ice in northern Italy for over 5000 years--the Ice Man. Sykes succeeded in extracting DNA from the Ice Man, but even more important, writes Science News, was his "ability to directly link that DNA to Europeans living today." In this groundbreaking book, Sykes reveals how the identification of a particular strand of DNA that passes unbroken through the maternal line allows scientists to trace our genetic makeup all the way back to prehistoric times--to seven primeval women, the "seven daughters of Eve."

The Seven Daughters of Eve by Bryan Sykes (2002)
This book is about genetic ancestry. The way it is laid out, makes it easy for a total layperson like me to understand what the author proposes in his work. Also it is written with stories, both to detail his research, and stories of the subjects of his research which I find entertaining. Because of the storytelling style, I could handle some of the elements of his writing. I will probably have to read this book a few more times to really get a picture of all that is in it, and do some research online to understand the science behind what he talks about. Bryan Sykes is a professor of genetics at the Institute of Molecular Medicine at Oxford University.

A Scientist Who Can Write Clearly!
The book covered the new subject of mitochondrial DNA extremely well, both scientifically and with fictional representations of the Seven Eves. It was extremely well written. The scientific jargon was explained clearly so that non-scientists could understand exactly what Dr. Sykes was describing. Covers an extremely interesting topic that can verify or correct historical assuptions of where we came from and when. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in world history, genealogy, or anthropology.

An introduction to history through genetics
I think this book is valuable as an introduction to the study of our past based on genetic tracing. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. It also touches on some of the conflicts scientists faccee with respect to ethics and discovery. While slightly outdated due to recent findings, it nevertheless stands on its own merits.
