The Human Inheritance
Genes, Language, and Evolution
Gebonden Engels 1999 9780198502746Samenvatting
The study of evolution - and human evolution in particular - because it deals with a past that can never conclusively be known, has always been fraught with controversy. Enter genetics with a completely new source of objective data. Surely the old questions would soon be settled one way or another. Or would they? Bryan Sykes brings together a world-class set of contributors to debate just what the links between genes, language, and the archaeological record can tell us about human evolution. The eight lively essays offer widely differing opinions, pose more questions than they offer answers, eschew jargon, and pursue controversy. Guaranteed to fascinate anyone who has ever wondered how the fossil record, the incredible diversity of human language, and our genetic inheritance might combine to give a glimpse of human origins.
