Having learned to read "DNA not only the modern Homo sapiens, but also our distant ancestors, we got the opportunity to make time travel. In this book, the reader, the reader, will pass the same ways as our geneticist Euer Eyer, who moved by our disappeared relatives - Neanderthals, Denisovs and the mysterious steppe people, laid the foundation for all Indo -European languages, will follow the trail of Bukhara Jews, the troops of Genghis Khan and thousands of "royal daughters", Sended by Louis XIV to populate a new France, will go aboard a ship that takes away African slaves from the homeland ...
The author uses the results of the latest scientific research and shares his own field observations in the scientific field, which yesterday seemed to be science fiction yesterday. This science - genetics - gives an answer to the question: how a person has become a person. As in just a few million years, a handful of Homo sapiens wandering along the savannah has turned into a form dominant on the planet.
Seven million years ago, at the beginning of human history, in the African savannah there were only a few hundred thousand of us ... Two millennia ago, 100 million people lived on Earth ... Today we are almost eight billion ...
How did Homo sapiens turn into a dominant view on the planet who are wandering along the savannah? How can all eight billion people come from several African tribes? Why is the Australian Aborigines dark skin and curly hair, and their closest neighbors in Indonesia are slanted eyes? Why are some genetic diseases characteristic only for the Canadian province of Quebec? Why are the Basques speak in a language that has nothing to do with other European languages? Is there a longevity gene?
This dizzying Odyssey answers many questions that are interested in all, helps to understand our differences today and even see what we will be tomorrow.
