Neanderthal Man 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
霍金为了解释天体物理学于是出版了《果壳中的宇宙》,斯万特为了解释近代人类学的几个重大发现,于是写下了《尼安德特人》 近代的尖端人类学已经不是进进田野写写日记就能解决的问题,而是着眼于过去历史的滚滚洪流中被埋没了的骨头,合以生物学、遗传学、基因学、考古学、分子...
评分既是演化遗传学家 斯万特 · 帕博 的半自传,又是关于他所从事的古遗传学、分子生物科学的浅显易懂的科普,即围绕尼安德特人 DNA 序列、尼安德特人与现代人类基因流动等等开展的研究。 但阅读之后,庸俗读者所得印象最深刻的,却是他简略提及另一位科学家的科研分析 : 与猿类...
评分先說一下,這本書與其說是講述尼安德塔人的點滴,不如說是一份研究報告或者作者帕波自己的工作回憶錄吧。他把自己學術生涯中對於怎麼取得尼安德塔人的基因的經過說了個明白,而讀者則能從中了解一些關於這項研究的意義。 對於非理科出身的,有時候還真的覺得基因的取得跟電影...

评分这是一本比较特殊的科普书,因为它不仅包含了关于自然科学知识的部分,甚至可以说科学知识只是其中三分之一的部分。它的独特在于能让我们一窥当今自然科学研究事业的事务性方面。作者的讲述极富悬疑戏剧性,我一看就上瘾了,本想一口气看完,但我的眼珠子实在坚持不住。 围绕着...

What can we learn from the genomes of our closest evolutionary relatives?
Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pääbo's mission to answer this question, and recounts his ultimately successful efforts to genetically define what makes us different from our Neanderthal cousins. 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.
We 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, Pääbo 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.
A riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, Neanderthal Man offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are.
在美国书店购得,店员大爷都知道尼安德特基因我们都有,后来出了中文版,给学生看,估计也没看完,继续human specific new gene之梦吧
评分Technology, techniques, organizedness and attention to detail change the world.
评分作者完整讲述了他带领的科研团队,从提取尼安德特人的DNA,得到全基因组序列,并最终得出人类曾与尼安德特人杂交并保留了3-5%的基因的整个研究过程和心路历程,中间穿插了自己的情史、科学家们的轶事。
评分屌爆的Paabo!在Irvine的Barnes noble 偶得,售书的大叔对人类基因组里的尼安德特片段啧啧称奇,真牛掰,读完了就五体投地了,立下研究人类智力起源的志向!今年十月份去法国开会见见大牛们!
