DAVID REICH, Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is one of the world’s leading pioneers in analyzing ancient human DNA. In a 2015 article in Nature, he was named one of ten people who matter in all of the sciences for his contribution to transforming ancient DNA data "from niche pursuit to industrial process." Awards he has received include the Newcomb Cleveland Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Dan David Prize in the Archaeological and Natural Sciences for his computational discovery of intermixing between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.

很多时候,人类对世界某个领域的认知,往往会因为一些底层认知的改变而发生重大变化,有时候是从错误到正确,如“地心说”到“日心说”,有时候是进化和完善,如从“经典物理”到“量子物理”。有时候,甚至一些昔日看起来不是“一路人”的学科发展也会相互影响,产生更大的认...
评分考古学、历史学、人类学和语言学等领域,都是有着比较深厚历史,积累了丰富研究成果的学术领域。 在这几个领域里,你能想到的,前人都已经说了,要想真正提出具有原创性,又具备科学基础的见解,几乎比登天还难。 本学科内很难有创新,而来自另一个学科的研究,却会打破这些领...
评分 评分我一直想读这本书!书中看到了人类迁徙演化,原来我们都是混血儿。讲欧洲的比较多,关于亚洲的不是很多。与传统的考古学不太一样~刷新认知。需要继续研读才行,可以学到很多新的认知,人类如何起源,迁移转化,无不密切关联,无不血脉相连,这本书以新的角度审视人类起源,纵...

A groundbreaking book about how ancient DNA has profoundly changed our understanding of human history.
Geneticists like David Reich have made astounding advances in the field of genomics, which is proving to be as important as archeology, linguistics, and written records as a means to understand our ancestry.
In Who We Are and How We Got Here, Reich allows readers to discover how the human genome provides not only all the information a human embryo needs to develop but also the hidden story of our species. Reich delves into how the genomic revolution is transforming our understanding of modern humans and how DNA studies reveal deep inequalities among different populations, between the sexes, and among individuals. Provocatively, Reich’s book suggests that there might very well be biological differences among human populations but that these differences are unlikely to conform to common stereotypes.
Drawing upon revolutionary findings and unparalleled scientific studies, Who We Are and How We Got Here is a captivating glimpse into humankind—where we came from and what that says about our lives today.
到底为啥我们一定要tracing common ancestor?人类的deep time只能靠genome去理解吗?
