<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This national bestseller, now in paperback, reveals how all humans are descended from seven prehistoric women--the Seven Daughters of Eve.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 <em>Science News</em>, 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A lovely, rollicking book, direct and clear....
