Seven daughters of Eve Book Review

The seven daughters of Eve is a book of nonfiction written by profession Brian Sykes of human genetics from the University of Oxford in England. Although a book of fiction with your kernel is not a pleasant blend of the history of the life of authors at the time when he was working the pioneer of mitochondrial DNA research and testing, there are fictional aspects to it.

The first half of the book is interesting that tells the story of how occurred type mitochondrial DNA testing and authors that helped advance research along personal life stories.E.g. after a motorcycle accident left Sykes with a bad shoulder as necessary to establish before flying, was able to take samples from a small island population that was useful to show how often in the Pacific Basin (well, actually how do not often) DNA muta mitocondrial.Es these true stories that allow the average reader to enjoy the book without being dominated by science, when summarized above says that a mother passes mitochondrial DNA in its entirety to all his children.

Given that mitochondrial DNA passed exactly a mother to her children, it is possible to return through the story and find what Sykes called the seven daughters of Eve. It was 7 women leading humans out of Africa, and helped to fill the rest of the world according to the book.

Sykes tries to give a name to each of these women and tell the story of his life based on what we know about the area that it is likely that lived as well as archaeological evidence since the time suggested by the number of mutations in the DNA sequence.While this part of the book was interesting, we see agriculture to start a story, dogs which are domesticated elsewhere, I found it harder to connect science that surrounded them, and then the real story of the life of Sykes.

It is a very interesting, faster reading, and then expect because Sykes is able to make reasonable and accurate sound science to explain his own history.Each reader is likely to encourage a different part of the book, but generally not read anything like genetic books long and boring and frustrating that so many of us have been with biologĂ­a.Yo class would say that this is a final reading for anyone interested in human genetics.
