A groundbreaking book about how ancient DNA has profoundly changed our understanding of human history.
Geneticists like David Reich have made astounding advances in the field of genomics, which is proving to be as important as archeology, linguistics, and written records as a means to understand our ancestry.
In Who We Are and How We Got Here, Reich allows readers to discover how the human genome provides not only all the information a human embryo needs to develop but also the hidden story of our species. Reich delves into how the genomic revolution is transforming our understanding of modern humans and how DNA studies reveal deep inequalities among different populations, between the sexes, and among individuals. Provocatively, Reich’s book suggests that there might very well be biological differences among human populations but that these differences are unlikely to conform to common stereotypes.
Drawing upon revolutionary findings and unparalleled scientific studies, Who We Are and How We Got Here is a captivating glimpse into humankind—where we came from and what that says about our lives today.

DAVID REICH, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is one of the world’s leading pioneers in analyzing ancient human DNA. In a 2015 article in Nature, he was named one of ten people who matter in all of the sciences for his contribution to transforming ancient DNA data "from niche pursuit to industrial process." Awards he has received include the Newcomb Cleveland Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Dan David Prize in the Archaeological and Natural Sciences for his computational discovery of intermixing between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

好多知识。如果能再多一点趣味性就更好了。读完这本书,所有有关种族的偏见就是无知闹的。

到底为啥我们一定要tracing common ancestor?人类的deep time只能靠genome去理解吗?

因为更多古人遗迹/遗骸尚待发现 +今人DNA数据尚少(有人为管制的原因),所以关于人类DNA分析的相关研究在今后会有很大突破和修正。需要持续关注相关话题。

对于一个有一些(不是很浓厚)兴趣的非专业读者,简直读不下去的一本书。去听了作者的一个面向NIH的讲座,也是这样语言风格,和吸引力。

一本书读了两年,遍地珍珠的感觉。可以学到很多基因人类学的知识,仔细读过,提升逻辑能力,有些问题你要反复的想,很容易想错。例如,种族间智力差异到底有没有基因上的证据?有些搞科普的,也未必说的清楚,或者愿意说清楚。

要是从小就念这种深入浅出又带着最新科研信息的书,我现在大概是遗传学家了。哈哈。强推,适合青少年看,推翻了很多传统理论。
