The Journey of Man : A Genetic Odyssey

Rating:
Summary: Journey of Man - An Epic
Review: What an exciting subject! A theory about the dispersal of humanity through the Earth, all who descended from one man -Adam. Honestly presented by a very qualified geneticist. Good humor and "down to Earth" insights throughout. Semi technical yet understandable. Written with the passion of the author, who has analyzed DNA from blood around the world in theorizing that all of mankind originated in Africa some 2000 generations ago. The theory accounts for EVERYBODY alive today. The author accepts the evidence as it comes in, controversial or not - for instance he finds that female genetic markers predate Adam making "Eve" older than "Adam," not exactly biblical.... Who knows: Maybe Well's "Adam" in the book was really Noah.... A good read.
