Items related to Out of Eden
In 1988, Newsweek headlined the discovery that everyone alive on the earth can trace their maternal DNA back to one woman who lived in Africa 150,000 years ago. It was thought that humans populated the world through a series of migratory waves from their African homeland. This book reveals the revolutionary theory about our origins.

About the Author:
Stephen Oppenheimer of the University of Oxford is a leading expert in the use of DNA to track migrations. His first book Eden in the East: The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia challenged the orthodox view of the origins of Polynesians as rice farmers from Taiwan. He is also the author of The Origins of the British.
Review:
A wonderfully readable guide for the perplexed on what modern molecular genetics may be telling us about our species' ancient origins in Africa and our many human wanderings over the earth thereafter * John Terrell, Director of Anthropology, The Field Museum, Chicago * Oppenheimer strongly argues for a single movement out of Africa. He tells his story with pace and authority, combining the personal and the scientific. * Times Literary Supplement * I can put my finger on a map and say that is where my people came from. * The Economist * A vivid synthesis of DNA studies with archaeological, climatic, anthropological and other findings . . . The thrill of this book lies in the vast reaches of time and space that one is deftly guided through. * Emma Crichton-Miller, Sunday Telegraph *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Not only are we all descended from a common African 'Adam' and 'Eve', but what's more it can now be proved that all modern non-Africans sprang from a single exodus out of Africa, rather than peopling the earth in multiple waves of migration. In a brilliant synthesis of genetic, archaeological and climatic evidence, Stephen Oppenheimer reveals the story of how a group of no more than a few hundred souls crossed the mouth of the Red Sea some 80,000 years ago. The book follows their halting progress around the world - to the mammoth Steppe heartland of Asia and the now submerged continent of Beringia, and on to the last great unpeopled lands of the Americas. It is a revolutionary account that is both scholarly and entertaining, a remarkable picture of the kinship of all humans. Revelatory story of how all modern non-Africans sprang from a single exodus out of Africa just 85,000 years ago Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
