A preeminent geneticist hunts the Neanderthal genome to answer the biggest question of them all: What does it mean to be human?

What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Pbo’s mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009. From Pbo, we learn how 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, Pbo 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.

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.

It was like reading an edge-of-the-seat thriller unable to put down. I might add that I am a retired railway engineer far removed from DNA and GENOME studies. Offf late, I developed an interest in origin of homo sapien. The reason why i chose this book was that author is a nobel-lautrate. Congratulations, Mr. Svante P

very lucid presentation, thoroughly enjoyable.

A scientific story told in an engrossing and entertaining manner. Genetic adds an enlightening dimension to history and archaeology.

A worthy peep into the rigours of ancient genetics.
