Beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010, Neanderthal Man describes the events, intrigues, failures, and triumphs of these scientifically rich years through the lens of the pioneer and inventor of the field of ancient DNA. \u003cbr\u003eWe learn that Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our hominin relatives and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Drawing on genetic and fossil clues, Paabo explores what is known about the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neanderthals and describes the fierce debate surrounding the nature of the two species' interactions. His findings have not only redrawn our family tree, but recast the fundamentals of human history--the biological beginnings of fully modern Homo sapiens, the direct ancestors of all people alive today. \u003cbr\u003eA riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, \u003ci\u003eNeanderthal Man\u003c\/i\u003e offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes | Svante Paabo | Hardcover | 9780465020836 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1774099","offer_id":49674618929304,"sku":"1774099","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41ePHetk1dL.jpg?v=1786551021","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/neanderthal-man-in-search-of-lost-genomes","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
